This solves the last Mile problem

So does having train stations every few corners. The reason we don't have that now is cost, which is the same reason we won't have car-train tunnels.

Obviously having a network of underground express tunnels for cars would be amazing. It's just economic nonsense when municipal governments are racking up huge debts in normal, above ground road maintenance. If it's not publically subsidized, drivers will be exposed to the true cost, which will be enormous. That high cost cannot be supported will prevent mass adoption.
