this would seem like a great way to cut back fuel usage in america. almost everywhere i go there are electric poles around the road. they could use it as a form of mass transit where if we all had a vehicle that could be propelled off an electric engine either primarily or secondarily the electricity could be sent to the vehicle's engine without a cord or cable. it would be an individual mass transit system. that probably is 100 years away from now, but its an idea. i got the idea from slot cars.
