Bike / Wheel Change Rules

Seems like (in some situations like small groups on down hills) time could be saved if the team car got 100 meters ahead of the rider and got the bike off the roof waiting for the rider. Then the rider can switch faster without waiting for the bike or wheel.

Just now, Gilbert, would have been better off coasting downhill and meet the mechanic with the bike already off the car ready to go.

Is there a rule preventing the car from going ahead ?
