It's too late now. It would take 20+ years; by then we'll probably have level 5 autonomous driving systems, making rail obsolete.

- JKCalhoun 5y ago200 cars traveling between L.A. and Phoenix vs. one train traveling at 350 MPH? Why would we ever want that?
- SheinhardtWigCo 5y agoI'm imagining that L5 vehicles will be able to travel at vastly higher speeds than human drivers, on a dedicated high-speed autonomous highway network, which could be constructed at a fraction of the cost of rail infrastructure. We would want that because it would eliminate the last mile problem.
- JKCalhoun 5y agoFeels like a last mile inconvenience to me.
