Auto spike belts. Detects speed and signals a pop up spike belt. Someday we will have all tracked metal/concrete rails in road or a concrete single rail with radar control. No skids, no running off road. The occasional derailment. In order to pass, you could have passing rails every 5 miles or so, where you switch the undercarriage dual follower/drive to a parallel off line that to allow you to take turns or other rail lines. Advantage would be no head ons, no rear enders, no truck tailgating, or jack-knifing, no sliding off road in slippery weather or low visibility. Lower friction and energy cost from low rolling friction hard rubber or metal wheels. From 50,000 a year killed on hiway each year, to maybe a few hundred at most. You would have to have offramps, dual use general road action and minimum speed regs.
