Several years back there was a startup?, I think, that tried to revolutionize rail traffic with autonomous wagons that intelligently form wagontracks with decentralized coordination. The question, how they would coordinate between all the local rulings and different track designs, was answered with 'There is data for that to use and everyone will restructure for their glorious idea' - safe to say they didn't went viral
