There used to be trains that took cars while passengers slept. Motorrail.
It might be time to re-introduce them.

A retrograde step. 'all the cramped public exposure of an aircraft with
worse journey times than a private car'

You can take all your 'stuff' with you in the car. No struggling to get
to/from an airport with suitcases. And, if you private car has to amke
stops every few hours to recharge it's battery then the train might well be
quicker. If it's overnight then the actual journey time isn't very relevant

The problem with all 'public' transport is that it runs to someone elses
timetable.

Driverless taxis are a far more likely way forward...
