unironically, transportation needs to be divorced from all the weird psychomarketing baggage it has picked up. carbrains have gone completely insane wrt size, power, speed etc. beyond all practical justification
little short range electric pod cars to rent first come first serve at the terminus of HSR or commuter trains in rural areas to put around and sightsee

I'm not trying to be an ass or anything, but I live in a rural "city" and I feel this kind of solution would just barely work, if at all. You're still looking at nearly everyone out here needing their own personal vehicle. Like yeah cars ruin big cities, but for the most part the only thing cars really did for rural areas was just replace the horse and cart. Especially since I'm pretty sure a lot of railroads were closing down and or merging together for a variety of reasons long before the advent of cars and carbrain.
They're actually historically fash. They made a lot of planes for the imperial army in WWII. Granted, most governments will order corporations to do stuff during war, but Mitsu used slave labor and committed a lot of atrocities IIRC.
