    Hmm, then for the busiest roads we could strap a bunch of cars together and have them accelerate and brake as a single unit to save space.

      As hyper-brained super geniuses, why don’t we also eliminate the most inefficient part of cars too, the rubber tires and asphalt? Elon musk has talked all about “un-designing,” eliminating the components most prone to failure so they can’t ever fail, let’s take the philosophy of a true visionary and un-design the most failure prone parts of our cars!

      Perhaps a spacex-age super material, a crystal lattice of strategically placed carbon atoms embedded in iron atoms? Forged in precision temperature controlled furnaces at thousands of degrees to achieve optimal hardness and strength!

        We need someone to start a citizen funded, billion dollar trial though to prove the materials work. Enter SteElon ™ wheels maybe?
