The tech for automated road trains is vastly closer than where self-driving cars are. If you feel this way about trains, then you should feel the same way about highway-specific automobile autonomy.

We also need to focus on the actual problem we're faced with. Cities are hitting limits to growth due to congestion and we can't build more roads. The state of tech right now is capable enough to solve that problem by increasing the throughput of the major arteries of LA / DC / etc.
