Autopilot for Batteries. What I wonder is, why isn't anyone building self driving batteries that park near the road and can follow you and give you more range if needed. They only would need to implement some kind of follow mode witch should be relatively easy. Cars could be build light and inexpensive and at the same time come with infinitive range.
- jesusthatsgreat 9y agoYeah I've thought about this too... like fighter jets being refueled by tanker jets mid-air. It should be safe for two vehicles to latch on to each other safely and for one to charge the other, then the 'tanker' vehicle goes back home to refuel itself or goes on to fuel another vehicle etc.. This seems like such an obvious step... i.e. if you're at 20% battery capacity and your car reckons it would need 40% to get to your destination, then it would send out a request to local tanker vehicles and the nearest one would come to you, connect and refuel without you having to stop or break speed. People would probably pay a premium for that service.
