You know, this could totally be a thing. They don't travel particularly fast and they can be engineered in a way so that it would be impossible to break the reactor vessel in a collision.

The reactor would have to be quite small and properly shielded (which would add weight), but I'm sure it's not beyond the wit of man.

One bus would be able to run for many years without releasing any of those noxious diesel emissions into the atmosphere.

Whadya think?
