China Plans Huge Buses That Can DRIVE OVER Cars, or in case of an uprising it can run over people.
Actually it's not a half bad idea. Might be a liability nightmare, but that's another story.
Then again they don't have 12 attorneys per person like the USA does either.

They should have some pretty good crashes with those.
A simple elevated train would work a whole lot better.

At the least they should separate the path for the buses' wheels from the regular traffic lanes. They are dealing with some of the worst drivers in the world in congested traffic.

I see them teaching their kind to drive here and it's a scary thought... Kinda like a photo-copy of a photo-copy. Not quite as sharp as the original.

How do they turn when driving over cars? My $ bets that they will not build anything similar to it.

China has to go through its own version of the 1965 Worlds Fair. We were promised flying cars and monorails ..trips to the moon

It's an innovative idea, but China doesn't really have the traffic system down pat. It's a smorgsbord of law defying drivers who will run through red lights. Most intersections from what I've read and seen on TV(history channel) are death traps. I have a feeling that bus is going to be a coffin.
Considering the troubles we have in the US with cars blindly turning into the path of trolleys, even with their own right-of-way, this is a nightmare. Do you want to get clipped by a "bus" that rides on steel wheels and is big enough to carry 1200 people?
Well at least China is looking for ways to move thousands of people at a time. They are going to need some innovative ways to move people over the years....

There is a not so subtle difference between innovate and hair brained. That concept is hair brained

Lots money from our debt payments to play with.
