GoT + Car Nerds = The Wildfire Car
Somebody brilliant has figured out that with the tech they have in Game of Thrones (including some we don't even have), nothing is stopping them from building a no-horse cart:
There's an engine type that could utilize two substances unique to that fictitious world, and the way the engine itself works is a sort of direct analogy to the fundamental conflict of the series, one that's alluded to in the series title, A Song of Ice and Fire. That engine is a Sterling engine. - Jason Torchinsky (Note: a Sterling engine is a steam engine)
This is the steam engine the Game of Thrones universe could build with their current tech:

The engine uses "wildfire" which is a highly volatile substance that ignites immediately upon being disturbed. Only sorcerers use this stuff and according to the mythos, it has burned up quite a few of them. Imagine green liquid fire on steroids and you have the basic idea.
Here is are some pictures of the cart GoT should build:

The only thing that is stopping them is all their damn wars!!
