We already have a great interstate transport network that reaches every address, and where this cargo already travels.

I don't know what building a second parallel railroad system to take over this task would cost, but I'd guess several Iraq Wars.

Making the trucks autonomous doubles their utilization, which means we need half as many trucks, and makes freight cheaper, which makes prices lower, benefitting everyone, especially the poorest.

This is never the start of a insightful argument!
