Driverless Cars Will Make Passenger Rail Obsolete [Opinion]

Driverless vehicles will be common on the road in a short time. They will have many impacts on global transport market trends. One remarkable impact of driverless vehicles will be the laying aside of rail systems, for several reasons. The main reasons are that traffic congestion will no longer be a justification for rail, rail will not be the best answer for the disabled, and air pollution caused by driverless cars is more or less equal to air pollution from trains. Last but not least is that driverless cars are safer than trains.
