#78: Power Roads

It occured to me that, since we are developing methods of wireless transfer, we could investigate into making roads capable of charging electric vehicles.

The car would ride along the road and be charged. Underneath there is a whole electrical infrastructure to make this possible.

This implies somewhat high traffic roads. It would not be necessary to put it in every road, since a person would naturally use the power roads on part of its drives.
