Sure, high-speed trains were great. So was the Edge Network at one point. The point is that we shouldn't spend time planning for the future with yesterday's technology. The CA high speed rail isn't scheduled for completion until 2029. I would prefer that we invest those 14 years and that 68 billion dollars in advancing driverless car infrastructure (luckily much of this can piggyback on existing highway system). It doesn't take much of an imagination to grasp the impact of driverless cars (on demand, shared, smaller 1 person vehicles, no parking, fewer deaths, etc)... even for longer distances (faster speeds, less traffic, caravanned vehicles).
