While the title is obviously not meant seriously, the idea of driving "over the traffic" is so dumb, that a city in China actually built and tested a bus with that concept. But the idea was discarded, because this only works well if you have a straight street without any traffic or junctions... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transit_Elevated_Bus
It's interesting to think of the real-world implications of such a thing. Only people who could afford this kind of car would be able to use it and therefore not be subject to normal traffic conditions. When you think about it, that would be like adding passing lanes to the road that you can only use if you pay extra. Y'know, I'm sure they must've tried that somewhere already. Just sounds too lucrative to pass up.
Is it feasible to motorize this design, or would the battery pack make it too top-heavy? Would you connect the motors to the wheels directly, or would you use a means of power transmission that can pass down the scissor legs?
The battery thing would prolly work, surprisingly it has a pretty solid stability. But while there definitely is some kind of possible transmission through the scissor, it would definitely be simpler to use the motors directly at the wheels, but you'd need a bigger scale for that.
