You can then replace the rubber tires with steel wheels. Also, when you're building infrastructure you can also put in a cable, so that instead of having to lug around batteries, your cars can take power from the grid. And when you're linking vehicles then you can make it so that the front vehicle has all the engine power and the other cars are just towed behind it like a trailer. I know, revolutionary and has never been done before anywhere on earth.

you can also put them much closer together safely.

Yes, and since you don't have motors in back cars anymore you can just make some kind of door to walk between them. But also putting that many people close together might cause issues so you need someone to supervise them, call them a conductor (or a guard if you're British)

Pretty sure we call them conductors over here too
