the future is Musks boring company. Cross country underground tunnels and automated electric chassis running through them to region yards.

The Musk Boring Co does one mile a week.
So if they have one start in NYC and one in LA, they’ll meet in Nebraska in 2048!

Driverless trucks are coming faster than you think. My company is working with them now.

It seems like an Azimov type future, a benign Dystopia of Godless herds of Humans without any sort of moral compass but lots of Tech moving things and people for purposes that are purely mindless.

I’ve thought about that. Back in the 70s I was thinking of an underground hyperloop or pneumatic system whereby driving would become a luxury, not a necessity. Al Gore’s internet took care of much.
At any rate and as with history, the tranistion will not be without turmoil. Steam engineers hated diesel at first. Someone is still manufacturing buggy whips. Great time to be alive.
