Working inside of a self-driving car in the future will be much different from working inside a normal car. Current vehicles are primarily designed around the driving experience. When you don't need a steering wheel, gas/brake pedals, surrounding area visibility, a car's interior could be completely designed. No reason it shouldn't be on par with a private train car. It should certainly surpass regular train seating, since you don't have an aisle going through the center of the vehicle as a design constraint.

You can't get rid of intermittent stops for cross-traffic and pedestrian crossings. And you will never be able to match the smoothness of a heavy rail vehicle with a lightweight road vehicle.
