Solving the charging problem

https://www.autoblog.com/2019/12/26/vw-charging-robots/


This is something that could solve the "not everyone has easy access to a charger" problem I've harped on.

After hearing the idea, I can picture parking in a garage, lot, or on the street for the night and hailing a charging robot like an Uber to give a charge. Imagine this would be ridiculously expensive and inefficient as described and totally impractical (and reliant on self-guided robots actually learning how to use sidewalks properly (something they're not very good at yet)), but it's an entirely different approach to solving the problem that's not tied to "this is how we've always done it" model.
