The DLR was I think about the first decent scale autonomous rail system and provides a lot of transport.
I mean things like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgantown_Personal_Rapid_Tran... predated it by a decade but is dinky in comparison.
Kobe’s Port Island Line is generally considered the first fully automated metro and opened in 1981. Lille Metro is about the same scale as the DLR and opened in 1983.
