Trains don't operate from door to door. The last mile problem persist, unless you travel between railway connected city centres. Not everyone lives anywhere near a railway station.
(I live in Europe which has relatively good railway network, still I prefer my Tesla as transport method.)
- shaklee3 5y agohighways don't go door to door, and that's what they were suggesting.
- fedorareis 5y agoThey were suggesting they want to use the same vehicle door to door with it being automated during the freeway bit. A train would still mean find some transport to the station, wait for the train, ride train, find transport from station.

- robbiepapiere 5y agoThere are trains that transport cars.
- Yaggo 5y agoTrue, they also run such a trains here in Finland, an overnight trip from south to north (Lapland). The train tickets for our family of 5 plus a car are so expensive (total 1200 eur) compared to minimal marginal cost for using our EV (150 eur), that we always choose the car.
