  • Abstract
    A car which automatically makes station stops, opens its doors to receive and discharge passengers, and accelerates quickly to programmed speeds between stations, accomplished all these things in a demonstration test run recently. General Electric´s new electronically controlled car named “Tomorrow” is provided with automation through a speed-distance regulator on board the car that makes all the decisions necessary to conform to system requirements.
