You could conceive the Rube Goldberg automobile,festooned with high technology.
In the event of an 'event' which required the best human factors reaction time to react within a transient environment,your event horizon could be so short,as to have you dead on arrival,wadded up inside the remains of your car which was unable to respond to the fluid battlefield of streets and roadways,and everything which can happen on them.
We've struggled for tires with better adhesion.
We've struggled to eliminate induced drag.
Low drag and low rolling resistance is a done deal with off-the-shelf technology.You just have to be able to sell it.
