Unfortunately they didn't install automatic train operation, so trains will be operated manually on the new line.
Actually, they will increase gradually the hours of operation after the Olympics, so it could actually start fully operating sooner than expected.

There's no autopilot system on Line 2, which has been operating for decades.
