High speed trains cannot compete with personal cars for two good reasons: 1)  the need for ground transportation at the far end and 2) other train passengers can spread disease or commit murder.

 

Having a personal car brings with it an increased ability to carry personal effects and provides a private space which doubles as a nice steel suit of armor.

 

I didn’t mention competing with aircraft, but no train can ever outrun a 737.
