In an Era of Autonomous Vehicles, Rails are Obsolete

In few years autonomous vehicles will be nothing special in many countries. These vehicles will noticeably change the worldwide transport market. One of the noteworthy changes will be the leaving behind of rail systems, because of a number of essential rationales. The most significant rationales are: (a) Autonomous vehicles are much safer than trains and the chances for a car accident will be very low. (b) Traffic jams and congestions will be considerably reduced, so they will not be a good enough reason for rails anymore. (c) Modern autonomous cars pollute Earth's atmosphere roughly just as rails pollute and both of the pollutions have been significantly reduced. (d) Disableds will prefer autonomous cars over rails.
