> That's what we were discussing before someone mentioned that no, self-driving cars are bad for this specific use case, trains would be better. That's a gross mischaracterization of what I actually said, which was that we have an unfortunate network of roads and barely any rail. And, furthermore, if you have the infrastructure to support refueling stations, then you aren't so remote, are you? If you have such infrastructure, then you probably have a population density to support other infrastructure, like rail. And yes, that is always preferable (as your main means of long distance land based travel).
