Fallout, Mad Max Style

Probably all of us either know about, or have played the XRE mods, which add cars to New Vegas. It could have been a must-have mod for New Vegas, and if there was a TTW version - it could easily become a must-have mod for that as well. Especially now that there is an addition of Wasted, post-apocalyptic cars.

However, being the sole driver in the wasteland is a bit underwhelming. And it is felt when using this mod.

Could it be possible to create a mod adding cars as enemies, with movement patterns based off one of the wheeled robot types (but faster), with ramming attack functionality? Not a continuation of the XRE mod, but rather and enemy mod working differently (and simpler), but using the same models?

I know there's someone working on a mod that has tanks in it. It looked like it was going to be more of a separate DLC type thing though rather than something added to all of the outdoor areas. The problem I see with adding driveable vehicles is it makes all other enemy types you might find outside trivial unless the vehicles have zero armor and explode after 1 or 2 hits.

You're thinking about the Frontier mod, and everybody is super excited about it.

Talking about vehicles (player driven), you have to remember that car wrecks in the game can't survive too much damage, and tend to explode violently. So lore wise cars don't have to be too tough. Think about it in terms of real cars as well. Do you think your average car can an assault rifle mag or two?
