In the US, self-driving cars on highways can effectively replace a huge amount of short hop flights. Way cheaper (especially for EVs) Faster for flights under 300-400 miles (especially if you need to get a rental car on the other end). More cargo/luggage Leave when you want Have a car (your car) when you get there Once highway driving is sufficiently safe to sleep at night, look out. With convergent evolution of infrastructure, good AI, it will be pretty safe. And if you have a small RV so you don't even need a hotel on the other end? With Starlink and a fold-out solar array so you can charge without even being hooked up?
