The $100 bil HSR money should be re-allocated to higher speed commuter rail, more water storage and upgrading our electrical grid.
The HSR is already out of date because it can't provide the convenience of an autonomously driven EV. An EV eliminates worries about missing the train, moving to other forms of transportation and the amount of luggage you can take. While the HSR provides "station to station" transportation an autonomously driven EV will provide “door to door” convenience in less total trip time and for less cost.
