This is what Tesla Semi is focusing on. The demo from Elon many years ago showed the Tesla Semi trucks autonomously driving and following each other within a couple of feet so they could take advantage of lower drag. He specifically talked about how the Tesla Semi in trailer mode or whatever it is called will be able to be cheaper than rail.

Elon has a history of making fake, bold claims just as the state tried to take on more responsibility.

Starlink instead of municipal Internet

Hyper loop instead of cal train

Now “train mode trucks” which is literally just insane if you’ve driven cross country.
