If you could build a reactor small enough for a car, seems it would make more sense to build one that was house-sized.
Then you could maybe sink it into the ground in the back yard for easy shielding, and you wouldnt need to worry about crashes.
If we all had small power plants in our homes, then electric cars might not be so impractical.

That is already being done. There are town sized reactors being built in Texas. Great option for communities.
Can you give us a hint where these town-sized reactors are being built?

Where and by whom?
