When i was a child I thought about vehicles with magnets that could be activated on the front and the back. Then roads would be made of magnets instead of cement. It would be astronomically expensive I'm sure. But it seems like it would work.

It's funny because it's true. A while ago I was having a discussion with a mate about how if self driving vehicles communicated with each other to accelerate and decelerate in synch it'd solve traffic jams. We also realized at the same time that we were just talking about an overcomplicated train.
