While I guess they are generally best served for airports and other areas involving a small, fixed circuit, I used to commute on the Brown Line in Taipei and never had an issue with it. It was slower than the non-automated lines, but for something which runs a good 15 miles on tires and was originally made in 1996, I was surprised at how well it measured up, and was a smoother ride by far.
Never tried the Detroit mover, but I assume the two biggest differences would be even a more built-out mover not being a convenient route for most commuters over cars (same with light rail, though that is cheaper and faster), and simple lack political will in Detroit.
