vaporware - and highly inefficient if it’s actually wireless vs. a moveable contact “pad”.

Nikola Tesla would be proud if this ever comes to fruition.....next step, free wireless global energy!
But first, all the power players in oil, natural gas, solar, wind, hydro and nuclear will have to simply pack up their bags, shut their businesses, layoff all of their employees and then find an altruistic billionaire philanthropist to fund the research (or find who has the old Tesla papers) and not charge for the service!
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think we had the technology, was stolen from Tesla's NY hotel upon his death and it will never be seen again until the world has depleted all the other sources of energy and it becomes a necessity and you can start to geotag power usage wirelessly and charge for the service. Until then, this and the perpetual engine will be the talk of science fiction. I think we have a better chance of seeing fusion energy...truly harnessing the power of the stars!

Didn't BMW test this out on a 5 series a while back in California?

The car drove over a charge mat and hey presto.
