Of course it does. Even with a driverless we'll still have to spend eight hours on a busy freeway with lots of trucks. Imagine being able to cut down drive time by two thirds?
There was a time when we didn't have freeways connecting our major cities. I'm sure they said the same exact crap too - It's over budget and not worth it. Bullshit. Eventually we will have high speed trains running from San Diego to LA to Bakersfield to San Fran to Sacramento to Portland to Seattle. Phoenix and Vegas too. Then from there out to Texas and then New Orleans and Florida.
Trump wants infrastructure, well, here it is. This is what infrastructure looks like. Let's build. Let's build something fantastic.
