Why can’t steam powered cars work?

It seems too obvious to be a solution, but why did we give up on steam power? I believe nuclear power plants essentially work by generating steam, could this model be used in a car? Does steam not provide enough force to move the water and its container?

Jay Leno has great videos showing his steam cars. They’re neat but pretty impractical compared to a modern gas or electric car.
