I'm not saying that self driven cars won't impact things but without a dedicated ROW, they will get stuck in traffic just like every other mode of trans that relies moving on public streets and expressways....a problem trains don't have.

Even on the Amtrak Regional, I can get from 30th Street Station to Union Station in DC in about 2 hours. Self driving cars won't accomplish that just like manual driven cars don't.
