If it would be possible to put items into spiders automatically with inserters, and possible to set way points and conditions for spiders, spiders could do everything that car-belt system can do. And easier to setup. And I'm not sure, it could be cpu friendly.

I don't think this would be possible without a severe redoing of collision management and seems too much.

This post suggests something similar (what I wanted to suggest) with which you would use the logistic robots.

Why not. I mean when https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Transport_Drones works, why not for spidertron instead of a drone?
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

From the sounds of it Kovarex intends to add a logistics tab to the spidertron, the reddit is here. In my mind that is a whole lot easier than inserters. Wonder if there will be an option to make the spidertron act like a buffer chest? :D
