Our system realized we might want to record our experiences with shifting, since this isn't talked about that often with plurality.
So, we're sharing our most recent experiences with pushing a specific DR to see what will happen. This will mostly cover what occurred with our headspace.
This is being shared for informational purposes so that it may be used to help others who are curious about this as we are or experiencing similar.
A system keeps its power as long as people depend on it. The moment communities can meet needs through their own coordination, control shifts.
FRA slates public hearing on G&W proposal to test Parallel Systems autonomous freight cars - Trains

Parallel Systems is looking more and more like a possibly successful end-run around the FRA (the regulatory agency that is responsible for making it impossible for us to have nice things in the US, compared to say Japan or Switzerland)
On a scale of scam to Hyperl♾️p, PS appears to be trending towards actually engineering something, and should they win a regulatory blank check there's plenty of off-the-shelf pre-engineered components from other countries, so they don't particularly even need deep engineering expertise... Makes me ..hopeful?
But as others point out and I concur, the PS current "as advertised" is impractical vaporware at best.
Edit to add "runaway railcar" gif which is what they are obv copying
Autonomous, electric freight trains are here to take on semitrucks.
