I think future technology will allow the car to detect another car or pedestrian too close to the exhaust system and disengage it. I don’t know, some wild thought I just had.

Right. So, it'll disengage and then, by virtue of this thing called gravity, crash on top of said other car or pedestrian. Much better.

You can't just "disengage" a car that's six feet off the ground. You have to land it gently with the nozzle engaged or you don't have a car anymore, and maybe you don't have a driver either.
