Electric Vehicle charging is a hassle, causing one-fifth of all EV buyers to go back to gas vehicles. Researchers at Cornell University have developed a technology that can charge vehicles on the road while in motion. The technology can be installed on highways, creating charging lanes so that there would be no need to stop to charge or fuel up. It will be a while before the technology will be seen on roads, if ever. Toyota is working with the research team to use the system to charge electric forklifts.

The autonomous vehicle world is shrinking — it’s overdue (6 minute read)

As the autonomous vehicle industry matures, it is realizing that the cost and effort it will take to reach mass scale will require more cooperation. There have been many mergers, joint ventures, and other cooperative efforts lately, and the industry is likely to continue shrinking. The consolidation is long overdue, with many automakers promising too much for too long but delivering too little. Huge amounts of investment are still required to bring the concept of autonomous vehicles to reality, and investors would have to tolerate zero cash flow until the technology is safe enough to launch.
