Groundcars were traditional vehicles of locomotion on a planet's surface. Groundcars could combine traditional wheels and antigravity floater bulbs or suspensors and even jet-pod modification. Due to the fact hat Holtzman shields would attract Sandworms and Sandstorms could disarm shields, Groundcars on Arrakis were mostly without antigravity systems and shields or were limited in use to the areas secured by the Shield Wall. On many Planets Groundcars had been largely replaced by faster ways of transportation such as universal transport pods, Tube-trains and transport tubes.
