Wait what? You have it the other way around. Rail will still be dramatically more efficient and cheaper than electric autonomous cars. And inter-city subways will still be more efficient and cheaper than electric autonomous cars. They have higher density, use less space (as opposed to huge roads/highways everywhere), and pollute less.
- MagnumOpus 10y agoThere will be a combination. Autonomous cars replacing taxis and buses; light rail/MRT for the last 5 miles in dense city centres; heavy rail for rapid medium distance transit (100km < x < 400km); planes for long distance transit. If anyone thinks that there is the road capacity for a million self-driving cars to drop passengers during every morning rush hour in Mid/Downtown Manhattan or the City of London, they are deluded.
