Yes. Electric self driving cars are why I am not too concerned about all the tunnel and highway building. They are train tracks of the future.

Train tracks are the train tracks of the future.
Trains are far more efficient than cars, especially at scale.
Assumes everyone is in medium to high density urban areas.
I like the idea, rural life excepted, but hard to imagine sprawl will ever be replaced.
It doesn’t. Trains cover the same distances as airplanes. Take a train across Washington, or anywhere, most of the stops are small towns.
Light rail, busses, and robotaxis cover sprawl.
