    Maybe we could hook a bunch of cars together, especially if they’re going the same direction anyway, even put some kind of tugging device at the front of the line of cars so they could save gas on the way to wherever they’re going, but I’m pretty sure this doesn’t exist yet…

      Make sure the tugging device is called a group leader for the cars acting as “pods”.

      But given how cars steer, we’ll need some kind of automatic guidance system to keep them in line. Maybe with AI?
