Or just like train locomotives, multiple drive or even push engines are controlled from a single engine. You can have some powered for acceleration and hill and then shut down when cruising.
I don't want big rigs going 20 mph, first shipping goods would cost a much more, and in many places everybody would have to go 20 and then there would be even more head on crashes from passing.
