Original Source: http://www.engadget.com/2016/02/05/google-is-exploring-wireless-charging-for-self-driving-cars/ Noah Berger/AFP/Getty Images Self-driving cars are poised to be an incredible tool of the future, but they won’t be much use if they can’t hold a charge. It looks like Google wants to solve this problem via resonant magnetic induction, a form of wireless charging that could use manhole-style transmitters embedded inRead more
In its usual monthly report on the progress of its self-driving cars — which are now being tested in and around Mountain View and Austin, Texas — Google waxes philosophical this month on the state of autonomous driving, as semi-autonomous systems (like Tesla’s Autopilot) are starting to come to market. It’s an interesting read that dives into Google’sRead more
