The Halo system owned by Qualcomm is one of several competing technologies designed to deliver power to charge car batteries without having to plug the vehicles in. At this stage, Qualcomm is apparently worried about frying cats."

    It should be a pretty typical month in London, so their test should get accurate results.

    Cables are expensive and they wear out. Plus most people won't put them back up and they get ran over and damaged. If they figure this out, you could park and you car would automagicly charge. remember, you have to design for the stupid.

    I prefer if the stupid are not able to use a car. It will make the roads much safer.
