Funny, I’d rather have more trailers and leave the roads to them and make sure people have good transport like subways, rails, etc. you’re always going to have a last-mile issue you can’t solve with mass transit so that works better for me.
Exactly! The trucks aren't the issue with the roads, it's the amount of cars due to overpriced and underperforming public transport.
I'd rather all the cargo moved by rail. Trains can be automated way better than a truck and the efficiency is enormous for longhaul.
And last mile how?
Progressively smaller gauge railways, until your Amazon parcel arrives via a 1-inch track on the regular 3.15pm service from the end of your street.
This is the way

Are you suggesting the entire long haul freight infrastructure should be designed around the "last mile"?
