Put me on the side of rail as more accessible (Unless someone can get to level 5 automated which does seem like a much further leap than it did 3, 5 years ago) and I think crucially more accessible to travellers not from Alberta. Perhaps we will end up with both eventually.

For fully automated (level 5) to allow closer spacing between vehicles you will need 100% of vehicles to be level 5 (because for it to work safely the system needs to look 2 or three vehicles ahead, not just the one immediately in front).
For a dedicated automated vehicle lane you will need a certain minimum numbers of vehicle fitted with automation (level 3 or 4 minimum?) or it will be just an empty lane.
