7. As more people take a mode of transportation where large numbers are

closely bunched, terrorists will make that mode of transportation a target. Auto driving is an exception because an explosion will hurt or kill only those near it, other motorists far enough away can avoid getting hurt of killed. Bombs in Spanish trains and London buses demonstrate how terrorists can strike trains if trains become a preferred mode of transportation on the scale of airplanes. So if trains take over, expect some form of invasive (to you) security screening.

8. High speed rail = an environmental disaster

how about just keeping up the passenger trains now in existance? Apparently that doesn't sound so glamourous, kind of like infrastructure.
