Ok but now my brain is thinking we may as well strip it down as much as possible, just use the magnets to move metal boxes with wheels like a railgun
that's literally any maglev train in use in China or Japan.
No. This would require the driver to keep the car perfectly aligned... Unless...
What if we used some sort of auto-steering system. Like, if the wheels had no ability to go anywhere other than the track.
And metal wheels on a metal road is going to have the least friction and least wear and... oh fuck we just re-invented trains
The carcinization of transportation
