I am first to hope for the autonomous cars and ending car ownership, because IMO the current road situation is absolutely ridiculous (In the meantime, someone would please train drivers like they do train airline pilots? I.e. beat the stupidity out of them with enough training.). A PRT network made out of autonomous electric cars would be something absolutely wonderful... in a city.

But between the cities, you still have tons of cars going together, in a line, all the time. There is no flexibility here, almost everyone is going the same direction for most of the way. I don't see how even autonomous electric cars could beat trains on that. I think that the best way for the future is bullet trains/hyperloop connecting the large cities, and PRT within the city. I'm open to math that shows otherwise though.
