A question was raised as to what happens when a car has a sudden failure
when cars are using a position detector.  Since each car has a position
detector any failure by a single car will be detected in cars immediately
following it.  All cars immediately following the first failing car would
slow down.  This slowing down would be done automatically by the position
detector.
