It is possible to do but not a recommended practice
Carpet tiles are designed to be installed over a stable surface. Even if you use one of the solvent based outdoor adhesives there will be some movement of one carpet against the other. This abrading will result in premature separation of the layers and you will be constantly trying to re adhere sections of the floor as they come loose.
The best procedure is to remove the existing carpet, prep the surface & then install the tiles.

Can interlocking floor tiles be installed over carpet?
Interlocking floor tiles are not preferable used over carpet. The best surface to lay tile or any other flooring product is on a firm and solid surface that out give. Carpet goes down when you step on and makes it so the interlocking tiles will eventually come unlocked by stepping on it. I would not recommend that you install any type of flooring until your carpet is taken out. However if your looking for a good interlocking floor tile I would recommend Swisstrax. They have a great product. And they are great to work with. Sources: www.swisstrax.com www.bigfloors.com www.racedeck.com
