That actually makes a lot of sense. Since most the cars are just moved around on level ground, if they actually slow the cars back down instead of coasting them, they would get most of the acceleration energy back. Only losses would be due to efficiency. The efficiency would be around 90%.

Now the good senator needs to add 50 flat cars with solar panels!
