I think there is scope for making Bucky's overall idea work. It just needs a little common sense engineering.

One approach might be to use the chassis of one of the Bombardier "tadpole" motorcycles. They are front-steering and a single rear drive wheel. That might be the perfect chassis for a 'Dymaxion' tandem-seat car.
