What if cars have no wheels but floats? I think its possible cuz some trains are floating some sort of magnetic thing. What if roads have also that magnetic thing..cars can now float..ayt??

That would be harder and far far more expensive to add than trams. It's the same idea, something in the ground. Anyway, the Maglev trains are more like a monorail, they hover off a thick wall like a metre square block in their track, so how would you turn another direction?

We have hovercrafts, what we need is a hovercraft that can change altitude. We could fit alot more cars on our streets that way, and a 2 lane road could become a 10 or so lane road. with cars above eachother.

In this day and age, I think a lot more stuff are becoming more and more possible... It has me pondering that is it a safe idea!? I think that as time goes along, people are become WORSE drivers than ever.... not only would we have accidents on the ground, but I could see cars from Back to the Future colliding with planes! Sorry, maybe that was just a really big buzz-kill... But I think the idea behind things are very fascinating... I just think it needs to see how things will affect real life.
