Trains don't self-drive, though.
Edit: Okay, for the pedants: most trains don't self-drive.

DLR trains do, and several airport trains.
Some London Underground lines have drivers that only intervene in the automatic operation of the train in an emergency or abnormal condition.
What? The train in my country are mostly self-drive.

So bike lanes but for cars. What could go wrong.
Building railway tracks to achieve universal coverage for the entire US without be a massive undertaking that would require a huge effort over multiple decades. Compared to that, building self driving cars is downright trivial. Let's not forget that they exist already, albeit in limited areas. People should not let their (justified) anger at Musk blind them to reality.
We had good nationwide rail, and instead of expanding it, we dug it up and replaced it with nationwide roads.
So let's do it again, dig up the roads and replace it with rail.
Trains can be faster, safer, cleaner, and more comfortable. We can still have roads for the last mile, but trains for Intercity and interstate.
