How long before they can change the wheels without stopping? Sounds dumb now but we'll probably have that technology soon

I don’t see how that’s physically possible, you have to swap the whole wheel, there will always be some stopped time involved in that

Have a physically long machine do the work. It would have a carriage start moving just as the car arrives, pick up the car, replace tires and do whatever else is needed, then drop the car when it's done.

But just because it can be done doesn't mean it should be done. It would be extremely expensive to develop. That money is likely better spent optimizing the vehicle itself.
