AIUI when the trains are driving automatically the driver just closes (and
opens?) the doors, just like the train captain on the DLR so, apart from
having to have new stock with door controls throughout the train , the
Victoria and Central lines could dispense with drivers staying in the cab.

Wrong. Very wrong. You can't get rid of the drivers on the Central and
Victoria, They are there for passenger safety and when the computer
fails they can drive the train manually. They are also looking out for
obstructions and people on the line etc.

DLR train captains can drive the train manually from the control panel.
