I have family who has said the same thing about France's bullet train.

The problem is not the lack of government wanting to do it, it's the people crying "not in my back yard!".

There is a high speed rail project here in the Mid-Atlantic that is on hold because of a town 15 minutes from me fighting it coming through.  This town was LITERALLY BUILT FOR THE RAILROADS!


As for autonomous vehicles, I agree with the sentiment that they will need their own roads free from human intervention.  Reason being, humans are too unpredictable in their reactions and will screw it up for the automated vehicles...
