I really feel as though the easiest way would be to rip the bandaid off and allow only robo cars.

But that comes with a slew of other issues such as peoples sovereignty.

It's also depressing, because all these organizations will spend all things money rather than just build the trains that would actually solve the transportation problems.

When I was reading Heinlein and Asimov and I got to their stories about rolling roads and highways I was like "ha ha, that's cute but stupid".

Now, I'm starting to wonder how far the American transport industry will really go just to avoid doing trains and buses.
