Very Neat. 40 years too late.

The autonomous vehicles will dominate the next 50 years.

the only thing you do with light rail is pave it over for autonomous buses.

The Brightline passenger train will only change our world here in Florida and possibly the future of passenger rail in the US if it is successful.
I believe this will really be one of the biggest game changers in this state's history in terms of transportation & development since Henry Flagler established his Florida East Coast railroad in the early 20th. century.
It has already stirred a development boom in downtown Miami.

They're not even out of the shed yet and when they are the cost will be prohibitive for widespread use. 25 to 30 years from now perhaps they'll have an impact, but until then it's probably safe to say our current modes of transportation will largely remain intact. All assuming of course other technologies don't eclipse it.
