Self-driving car

So, we have belts for small distance.

We have trains for long distance.

What about a self driving car for medium distances?

I was thinking something along the lines of settings checkpoins for the car.

You could set how much time do you want the car to be on the checkpoint (0 for not stopping).

And pretty much it would work like the train... but without the unconvinient rails.

Perfect for all those small patches of minerals that aren't worth a train, and neither a long belt. Put a mining drill, a chest, and wait for the car to arrive to the checkpoint!

Very useful for oil too! All those distant oil patches can be added to your factory with a car!

Anyway. I'm not even sure if it's possible.
