It depends on the route and the distance.

For example, Portland to Seattle isn't that far but I-5 can easily back up and become an hours-long ordeal, and SEA and PDX aren't particularly close to a lot of places.

Traffic jams have become so much easier to handle with lane following and down-to-zero adaptive cruise control.

A backlog of hundreds of hours of podcasts doesn’t hurt.

Still would prefer the train.
