On average application, trains are the least energy-efficient device for urban passenger applications. Cars can be literally 10x more efficient than they are today (check out the VW L1, as an example).

The human urban footprint, in the USA, is about 3%. The total human footprint on our world has far more to do with farms, than roading.

Lay off the meat a bit (you eat about 5x more than your body can even use), and keep driving.

A car is not a self.
A train would be a lot better and much more efficient that a bunch of "self's" taking up so much valuable land and fuel.

Don't underestimate the far reaching impact of this technology. It will change everything.

If you're curious, I have written about this myself.
