  • Apple car could be recharged by a vehicle-seeking robot in your garage

    No owner of a current electric car has to remember to unplug the charging cable before driving off.  All modern EV’s - Tesla’s, Leafs, Bolts — all have automatic interlocks that prevent the car from being moved if the cable is attached.   So there is no safety advantage to this Apple “innovation.”  
    As to the convenience aspect — Tesla has talked for years about plans for robotic charging cable attachments for their cars, not just at home but also at their Superchargers.  Hasn’t happened yet, but the idea is not new.
