Traveling on an Autonomous Light Rail on the Sabbath?
Question
Hello Rabbi Michi,
What is the Rabbi’s opinion regarding traveling on an autonomous light rail on the Sabbath?
Thanks in advance,
B’
Answer
It depends on the nature of this train. If it operates without any human intervention, I don’t see why it would be forbidden. Of course, one could always forbid it on the grounds of weekday-like activity, etc.
