I love re-deriving the train when people talk about autonomous cars/trucking and how they can already do the highway part easily

What I dont fucking get is that even in Europe where even in shitty countries like Hungary and Slovakia we have train tracks that's about thousandfold what the US has, and we still put shit on Semis and have them drive between cities, cities that are all fucking connected by train.

Why aren't we fucking putting everything on goddamn fucking trains, and then do only the last miles of the delivery on trucks, they could even be electric as that would eliminate all the drawbacks of electric semis, having them only go short distances

Maybe do the last mile with trains like the Swiss do

AFAIK a big reason for this is because we're utterly anal about making everyone pay for railways, while roads are obviously necessary for civilization to exist and thus they're perfectly free to use!

it's the same corrupt double standard that applies to public transport, it's just a systemic "oppression" of efficient systems in favour of inefficient ones that let money be funneled into the pockets of asphalt manufacturers and car companies and whatnot.
