A car would work without a differential in much the same way a wagon or

the tires.
A better fix would be to only drive one wheel. Having a way to lock
in the second wheel would be useful, but not necessary. My snow
blower is set up that way - a live axle, and only one wheel driving,
unless you manually engage the lock on the second wheel so they both
drive.
