Detroit's newest road can charge electric cars as they drive on it (www.axios.com)

Detroit is now home to the country's first chunk of road that can wirelessly charge an electric vehicle (EV), whether it's parked or moving.

Why it matters: Wireless charging on an electrified roadway could remove one of the biggest hassles of owning an EV: the need to stop and plug in regularly.

I'm all about both jacking up density and expanding mass transport any way we can in urban areas. It's got to creep out from there though. We can't just wipe the slate clean and start over in a decade.

I'm constantly proselytizing to people locally to vote for and be interested in changing zoning and regulations policies. I'm super annoying about it if I'm drunk lol

I agree. The rural transit issues would be a much slower rollout. Would take a while to see any changes in those areas.
