The Japanese Shinkansen is the most technologically advanced and automated high-speed rail systems in the world. It represents the cutting edge and absolute peak of rail systems development.
It also has the most well-trained and highest-paid drivers in the Japanese rail system. Those drivers are called to the "Chief Pilot's" office is they are 15 SECONDS late to a station.
If Japan hasn't done away with train drivers, then pilots have nothing to worry about.
