will IRT Flushing Line (7) be totally driverless?

WIKIpedia says yes. But I can hardly believe it can happen in NYC. As of me, driverless line must feature not only automated train, but also platform doors just the same fashion as airtrain stations, on driverless lines in Paris have.

Will it be so, on line 7?

Although the CBTC on the Flushing line will be semi automated, it will still have a full crew of T/O and C/R on board like the L Line.

No it doesn't. And anyone can edit Wikipedia.

No way,no how.
You should know how transit riders think by now.
They will use an automatic elevator... but not a line without somebody in the front.

Yeah yeah..I Know....Airtrain.
Air train was built as an Automated operation, not retrofitted like several NYCT lines up for grabs.

Yep, the question is just rhetoric of New York, especially for rush hours. Frankly speaking, when I've read that such practice as Automated train operation can take place in New York - it sounded for me like science fiction.

I can hardly believe that it work so on line # 1 and 14 in Paris.

No, but hopefully it will be within my lifetime.

Since that's the only way we'll see a RFW ever again.
