Introduce driver-less trains to the London Underground to stop future strikes.

What the petition asks
The unions and tube drivers are holding London to ransom unnecessarily! We have the DLR which functions exceptionally well without human drivers. Why can't we adopt the same technology in the underground, thereby avoiding the chaos caused by a tube strike.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The London Underground system is operated by Transport for London, which is the responsibility of the Mayor of London, not the UK Government or Parliament.
