If the cars were moving, would they be that close together, on average? It seems to me that the average distance would have to be around one car length on a highway (which is too close if a car has to come to a panic stop, as in avoiding a body dump). Even on a city street the average distance from one car to the next is at least several feet, if not a whole car length.
