Which financial institution will be the first to step up with a true Chip and PIN card? The way it is going, everyone will issue Chip and Signature cards first and maybe (if ever) issue Chip and Pin.
It seems like until they can completely eradicate the mag stripe, which means all the readers in the US have to be replaced with ones capable of reading EMV or NFC or Bluetooth 4.0, we're going to be in this gray area and Americans will be screwed as far as unattended transactions.
I had luck with Trenitalia kiosks (probably because the value of the transactions were only about 5 Euro each way) but otherwise, we will have to use cash and/or wait in line.
