I'm imagining roads where cars charge at stoplights and the owner gets charged for the service at the end of the month. Same for parking lots.

- pixl97 2y agoI can imagine it, but all I'm imagining is car companies doing a poor job on the protocol security and I get a $10k bill for power at the end of the month because someone spoofed my car token.
- rasz 2y agoOnly if you can imagine all cars with <5 inch ride height and magical coil positioners carefully aligning coils without moving your car or the road beneath.
- the_sleaze_ 2y agoI'll take the bait. We don't need magical coil or car positioners, cars do a great job of moving themselves already. What we need is targeting. Similar to how automatic car washes work. Just a "move forward 6 inches .. 2 inches". Non-trivial but not an unacceptably high bar. Then you could have a dead simple dropping mechanism to lower a charger down to charge - only within <5 inches of the roadway. When you drive off it can just retract like airplane wheels. I actually like it more now.
