You think we’ll be using trains?

I think ICE uses planes.

Yeah, good idea, we can even make long lines of them in a well-organized convoy. Maybe the ones in front and back can control the ones in the middle.

Then to make sure they stay in formation, we can physically link them together, but with a bit of slack to turn and such.

In fact, we could even make special roads for these convoys so they get maximum fuel efficiency while also preventing them from accidentally drifting off of it. These roads would be exclusively used by these tesla convoys.

When these roads have to intersect with normal ones, we will give the convoys right of way, with some sort of movable barrier blocking the other cars from crossing.

Yeah, this idea is shaping up. Imagine all the people and cargo we could move with this hyper-efficient system.

I really enjoy those "tech bros reinvent..." memes

Can we have levers which toggle which direction the group of vehicles travel on? We could then rest people on different paths and have their loved ones make life altering decisions by choosing to pull or push the lever.

Rail travel in the US is broken though

To be honest, I'm actually really surprised we're using planes and not trains, buses and ships
