“the roadway now has inductive-charging coils beneath the surface, which will charge electric vehicles that have Electreon receivers”

What is the downside of having ubiquitous magnetic fields?

Ie. are there any impacts on human health from chronic exposure? And can this be solved with Faraday cages?

I was thinking the same thing. Also, from what I know of inductive charging, this can’t be very effective. My guess it’s a boondoggle like hydrogen cars.

I wonder why we get attracted to sexy sounding tech that doesn’t have legs 

Remember Solyndra?

This is also set up on one street block in an “innovation zone” - so there is no indication it will or can scale at anytime soon
