How does a Zamboni drive on ice without Friction?
Actually, without friction, the Zamboni would not go anywhere. Ice just reduces friction. There are microscopic pores in the ice, so when the Zamboni is on top of it, the rubber tires press into the holes, so the vehicle gets a good grip. This makes it possible for the Zamboni to move across the ice.
Why do you need friction when you drive?
Steering relies on friction. That is why so many people crash when it is icy out. The ice reduces the friction and therefore the steering capability.
Does ice has a higher coefficient of friction than rubber does?
Rubber has more friction than an ice cube. Ice has almost no friction what so ever.

When is friction not so useful?
When you drive a car and stop it is because of friction you stopped. If there was no friction your car won't stop and will slide. Friction also helps with waking, if there was no friction with every step you take you would slip. Friction lets your foot stay in one spot while you move the other foot. Ice has no friction so it is hard to walk on and hard to brake on (if driving a car.)

Is there any friction when you are roller skating?
Yes, that's why the Zamboni must come out to refreeze the ice and fill in the grooves. The blade heats the ice slightly as it skates over it. It creates the grooves because it melts the ice where it glides.
