I hope so. We can't be the first ones that want to have power in our cars. With
DCC this power pickup is badly needed.

If you modify the motor to pass the rail signals through to the power port
on the top of the motor, can't you just use standard LEGO wires and
connectors between the loco and the cars?

Well that is currently the only way to pass power. But it's very inconvenient.

Hence the call for something new.
