Self-driving cars will increase road capacity, but I don't think they'll make driving costs cheaper than rail costs per passenger when all subsidies are taken into account. Rail lines are expensive, but so is expanding interstates, and Texas's three major interstates, I-10, I-35 and I-45, are all near capacity.
