Lockheed Martin has developed what they call the MKV-L “Multiple Kill Vehicle.” It is in a nutshell a hovering missile defense drone. While it is in it’s infancy, it does show what thruster rockets are capable of being used right now in a specific gravity. As soon as I can make a car out of one of these I will be happy.

From Lockheed Martin’s site about the MKV-L

“In the event of an enemy launch, a single interceptor equipped with this payload destroys not only the re-entry vehicle but also all credible threat objects, including countermeasures the enemy deploys to try to spoof our defenses. This many-on-many strategy eliminates the need for extensive pre-launch intelligence while leveraging the Ballistic Missile Defense System’s discrimination capability, ensuring a robust and affordable solution to emerging threats.”
