Finally a real driver. Having trained drivers in both the IV and VI there are some pluses to both but automation has been slowing advancing for the past 20 years. The VIs announce MBS changes and tells the driver when to slow down, provides in detail description of any issue that may occur and...

Too bad... Matt was good real good. I can remember him doing the spiel live while he was driving and I was in back cab... Yes Matt was in Rails and the Monorail Managers went to him to do the spiel. Unreal he had the voice and was good fit after Jack Wagner passed away..

Since the advent of the Mark VI I believe the spiel besides the Digital Prerecorded component (door chime/Jack Wagner 'stand clear') has been recorded by Matt Hansen. I do not believe however, he did the current spiel....Tyler do you know???
