EVs and trains are a great match. Self-driving EV takes you to train, train takes you to another city, and another self-driving EV picks you up.

My S85 could too, if I were willing to arrive running on the electrical equivalent of fumes, but I'd probably take 15 minutes to stop in Delaware to top up the car and driver. With charging, my total trip time would be about four hours, which compares pretty favorably with making the trip by air.
