You said it SM we are in need of an overhaul.
But to the point, Nuke won't work in a car cause you need tons( 7 of them in a Carrier) of plumbing to make a reactor produce electricity. That does not include the water to water Heat exchangers (at least 2) and so on.
A nuclear pwowered car would be 100 feet long, 10 feet wide, 14 feet tall and weigh 45,000 pounds.
Where are you going to drive that?
In the OutBack of Australia, thats where.
And God help us if you have an accident.
Mad Max would have your @$$.
