The ambition is two hours and forty minutes non-stop btw/ LA and SF, which I understand would make it the fasted high speed train in the world. Hold my triple IPA Euroweenies. The skeptical prediction is four hours and forty minutes once you take into account slower speeds and shared track usage in the metros at the start and finish that are now contemplated. In the abstract I think having more transportation alternatives are great, but particularly if you think self-driving cars are coming quicker than rail lines can be built/updated, then most people will probably find driving on the interstate cheaper and more convenient.
