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
You know what?
I'd love to hear a little "toot-toot!" and have a little train pull up outside my window, with my parcel on a carriage behind it.
Trebuchets.
Cake buddy!
Are you suggesting the entire long haul freight infrastructure should be designed around the "last mile"?

I just bought an e-scooter and it comes later this week. I am so stoked to be able to get around a little easier.
