This is an interesting 'solution' to the problem of fuel-burning, car-based transportation. Unfortunately it relies on a lot of technology that doesn't exist yet.

There's another solution which reduces driving, using just technology that we already have. Building walkable cities again. If we allow more people to live in local communities where they can accomplish their life necessities with just walking, biking, and transit, then we can drastically cut transportation emissions without strip-mining the whole earth for minerals.
