Traffic jams have become so much easier to handle with lane following and down-to-zero adaptive cruise control.

A backlog of hundreds of hours of podcasts doesn’t hurt.

Still would prefer the train.

While this is true, there is also something to be said about predictability.

A train that is an hour slower than the best driving time but consistently so is easier to plan around than a car that is an hour faster or an hour slower than the train with no clear rhyme or reason.
