   Forest for the trees.  Trains steer themselves.  I’m asking you to   
   ask yourself *why* jumping into self-driving cars is supposed to be   
   a good idea if we don’t already have a solid solution for trains,   
   just like *why* flying cars are supposed to be a good idea if we   
   can’t just get in and take off.
