I can't wait for contactless payments at most gas stations. Seems like the perfect spot for it, you're already going to get your phone out to kill the pumping time anyway.
- ghaff 10y agoYou'll see signs about cellphone use around a lot of gas pumps. (Though, according to Mythbusters a number of years back, the issue is static electricity, not the cell phone.) It's possible laws might need to change to use a phone payment at the gas pump.
- jonknee 10y agoThey exist already, just aren't super common. Chevron is probably the most widespread in the US: http://www.chevronwithtechron.com/findastation.aspx http://www.chevronwithtechron.com/findastation.aspx (There is a filter for "Mobile Pay" at the bottom)
- vwcx 10y agoYou mean, you're already going to get your phone out to kill yourself while pumping anyway. Static fires are real.
- jonknee 10y agoYes and static fires don't have anything to do with cell phones. If it was a real concern they would be really strict about stopping people from using phones around gas pumps.
