The Tube (TFL) are trying to introduce driverless trains. Its the unions that are stopping them.
I'm sure if TFL could get rid of all drivers tomorrow and replace them with driverless trains they would.
The thing that will hold up real deployment of this will be unions rather than the technology.
Aren't the Central, Jubilee and Victoria lines all using ATO already? They carry drivers for doors, emergencies, etc but I thought that the movement of the train was automated.
