A groundcar was a planetary vehicle used for traveling on roads; use of these vehicles were wide-ranging in the Vorkosigan Saga, and the use of these vehicles crossed many planets (Barrayar, Athos, Kibou-daini, and Eta Ceta all had them, for example). Rather than using gravitics, these vehicles appeared to be some kind of hovercraft; there are multiple references to them rising on their fans. A related vehicle that was also very probably a hovercraft was a "hovercab". One of these was used to extract Miles Vorkosigan's scat-cat from a Kyril Island bog.
