Get On the Awesome Train
The Auto Train aims to provide a sustainable solution for traveling distances too long to drive by car but too short to fly by plane. The fully-automated system accommodates individual passengers and their vehicles. So that it doesn’t need to stop between destinations, a number of train sections are designed to easily merge and diverge from the track at specialized stations, allowing it to work like an automated taxi that automatically drops you off at your destination!

Just a simple question… How does it turn?
Heather says
By following the rails, obviously

Too bad it would need to be diesel powered for most of Amtrak’s territory! It wouldn’t even run on the existing Auto Train route with a pantograph!

isnt it more efficient if you leave your car at home and rent one where ever you go?

doesn’t look awesome

Just moving a greater mass than necessary. High speed self-driving individual electric vehicles would be more efficient

this concept can become a total game changer to the range of electric vehicles. not only that, but it can also considerably reduce travel time. lets hope that governments and private companies pick-up this concept and test its viability.
