Cool! We could add a slot between the conductors and a pin that drops down out of the car and we become slot racers ..... :happy feet:

TxDOT has trouble filling in potholes let alone setting up miles of electrified rails in the roads, haha.

 

However, strategic placement would make these very useful. Say just a 15 mile stretch exactly halfway between Houston and Dallas? Pump enough juice through it to top off the battery to finish the journey, kinda like mid-air refueling.

 

Just don't pee on the road.

This sort of thing is all very well for a carmaker to propose, but if I understand what Volvo is pitching, with current technology it presents innumerable problems, coupled with staggering costs.

yes maybe so for right now but I think this could lead to some pretty cool stuff if it can be perfected and reduce the cost
