California legislator proposes unrestricted Autobahn lanes between L.A., San Francisco

California state Sen. John Moorlach has proposed building a U.S. version of Germany's unrestricted Autobahn from just north of Los Angeles to Stockton. The Republican representative of Costa Mesa said he got the idea for his bill before Gov. Gavin Newsom made recent comments seen as closing the door on California's high-speed rail project. Trains hitting a top speed of 220 miles per hour were meant to get passengers from L.A. to San Francisco in three hours, for half the price of a plane ticket.
