Minecarts don't slide on any sort of ice
What happens:
Minecarts will quickly come to a halt after running out of track. The stopping distance on ice is the same as the stopping distance on stone.
What I think should happen:
Minecarts should slide across ice after running out of track and slowly come to a stop.
How to observe:
Create a minecart track out of powered rails and have it end at a patch of ice. Then, place a minecart on the track and push it towards the ice to get it started.

Bug Tracker is not for feature suggestions, please use Minecraft Forums for those: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forum/1-suggestions/
I would think this isn't a suggestion o.O
I view bugs as things that don't work like they should, not just things that break the game such as crashing, item duplication, lag, and messed up object rendering.
If you ask me, minecarts not sliding on ice was just something that wasn't thought about by the devs after all of this time. If someone were to directly tell them:
I doubt they'd say:
Looks like a bug to me too, dear mods. This is a case of minecarts (entities) behaving in a manner that is inconsistent with item drops (more entities), players (yep, entities) and mobs (also entities).
I fully agree with Eris, it's an entity and should be treated as such.
Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w08a? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
Yes, still an issue in 08a and 1.7.5
Still an issue in 1.8 and 1.8.1-pre2.

Attached is the datapack I used to reproduce this issue. It builds the contraption for you, but for some reason, it always gets placed south of the player, regardless of the direction the player is facing. The only function you need to run yourself is
the others will run on their own shortly after.

this is confirmed in 1.13.2 aswell, and the effect are not on only compact ice, but on blue ice aswell. the effect seems to be alike on both of the ice blocks, none of them are giving diffrent results of the speeds to the minecart after being runed of rails and sliding on ice.

Does it count as a feature suggestion if I think this should lend to faster minecart travel on blue ice?

I can confirm it can be reproduced with slime launchers. See attached video. (also in duplicat bug report)
That slime launcher video is a good demonstration to compare the boats that do slide to the minecarts which don't. I highly doubt it affected the test, but it would have been nice to see some separation between the two minecarts in the middle so that we know they aren't interacting with each other or the adjacent floor block.
