I founded ClariNet, the world's first internet based business, am Chairman Emeritus of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and a fellow of the Foresight Institute. My current passion is self-driving vehicles and robots.

The milestones for self-driving cars, first in the form of robotaxis, keep being recorded. As the mainstream arrival of the technology gets closer, and the vehicles are almost entirely electric, the question of how they will charge and how they will plug in grows in relevance.

Self-charging can also make sense in parking lots, particularly in offices, so you don’t have to build lots of charging stations. The cars can share them. In general, self-charging cars mean we don’t have to build a massive charging infrastructure at all. Instead, automatic stations, located near power substations can serve most people, including those who don’t own their own parking space and can’t install charging.

In these early days, they will need a human. But there are several ways that plug-in might be automated, which allows you to have smaller, low-volume stations and lower costs.
