    We need more trains in North America. From my experience between planes, trains, and automobiles (and boats) trains have been the best experience.

      “Knocks on wood”. Japan’s bullet trains have zero fatalities after more than 60 years of service. Trains are the absolute safest if managed properly.

      I’m one of those people that likes to get a window seat and occasionally check out the views and marvel at what is really going on at that moment.

      But the flying experience sucks. If there was an option to chill in a comfy train to replace short and medium flights, I would be right there with you.

      They’d also be the easiest to make self-driving.

      Don’t want to deal with things like lane changes, identifying traffic signals, erratic drivers, etc? Just focus on self driving trains instead. They go back and forth on a set path, on a set schedule, and can automatically watch for things like people/animals/debris on the tracks, electronically receive stop/go signals, etc…

      All the focus is on self-driving cars, when it really should be on trains.
