Go ahead and laugh, but if the Germans had succeeded in getting enough of their cleverly disguised uboat-slash-omnibus units onto Britain's roadways, things might have turned out very badly indeed for the Allies.
The first few were intended for a variety of "search and destroy" missions in and around London. Sadly they all came ashore in Liverpool and were never seen or heard from again, and Doenitz was forced to cancel the operation entirely.
