200 cars traveling between L.A. and Phoenix vs. one train traveling at 350 MPH? Why would we ever want that?

I'm imagining that L5 vehicles will be able to travel at vastly higher speeds than human drivers, on a dedicated high-speed autonomous highway network, which could be constructed at a fraction of the cost of rail infrastructure. We would want that because it would eliminate the last mile problem.

Feels like a last mile inconvenience to me.
