There is a dry material called PaverLoc that is used for thin pavers over concrete. You spread a thin layer and set the thin pavers on top of it. The outer row is set with a wet, thinset-like material. It doesn't appears that the installers around here use the material.

It would seem to me that either of these products installed with the SUITABLE bonding agent WOULD NOT CRACK as the load from the car would be transferred to the concrete driveway. However, this is NOT done, have never been able to find out why this type of installation is not done.
I am no longer pursuing this as we had the driveway stained and are very happy wit the result.
