The bandwidth of a station wagon just keeps increasing with advances in storage technology.
But a 10Gb/s line will do about 100TB in a day, so there’s not that many situations left where you have enough data to make the station wagon worth the effort. Wikipedia has a few examples, with the most recent being a truck doing 100PB for AWS. I think we passed station wagon station 10 years ago.
