Maybe I didn't communicate this properly?

  - I saved a lot of time taking a car train, instead of just driving my car through windy roads
  - Similarly, I could see a HSR car train, if there was such a thing, saving a lot of time (and of course, freeing up the driving time to be able to do other things, whilst in transit)

I did say you can't have an HSR car train. It simply isn't possible: it would take far too much time to load and unload cars. Also, the weight of the cars is probably too much for HSR tracks. There's a reason HSR can't share rails with freight trains.
