Drugs you can show completion of a program, swear you've been clean for two years, have testimonials from your preacher, rabbi and yoga instructor.

Theft is tougher and would probably be a bar for any financial company (except apparently at the top executive levels). Might be better to lie or not check either "Do you have a criminal record" checkbox and hope they don't do the background check.

Violent crime, property damage stuff you can just give your side and claim that it was a minor offense and the other party was out to get you. Doesn't look good if you have multiple offenses, though.

BART has had automatic controls since it opened in the 70's. However they still have a driver on every train, except when some guy gets off and doesn't make it back on before the train leaves. Making the trains fully automated is estimated to save 10-20% of the operating costs.
