    It would only work if you manage to keep the car at an extremely precise distance from the car in front. If you’re off by tiny tiny amounts, you’ll either lose the magnetic attraction, and stop, or you’d started getting closer fast until you’d be stuck to the car in front of you

          We could chain them together and make the front car really powerful. The other cars wouldn’t even need engines!

          It would get kinda hard to control though. Maybe some sort of track system could keep it steady?
