There’s a difference between flying a drone and establishing persistent aerial presence. Most of what we call “autonomous” today still relies on human operators, live feeds, remote stations. Someone’s always watching. Someone’s always steering. And for the most part, the

Milan's 15-km-long M4 subway line to the airport uses the same sleek model of automated train found on the Copenhagen Metro, originally developed by AnsaldoBreda (now a part of Hitachi). This system also boasts platform doors, which are not found on the older lines.

Built and opened in phases from 2022 to 2024, ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics, the new M4 crosstown subway line serves Milan's airport. 🇮🇹🚇🛫 With 50-metre length platforms, the station and train sizes are similar to Vancouver's Canada Line, and it's also fully automated.
