Mon Feb 4, 2008

Dutch inventors unveiled on Monday a 75,000 euro ($111,100) car-fuelling robot they say is the first of its kind*

"I was on a farm and I saw a robotic arm milking a cow. If a robot can do that then why can't it fill a car tank, I thought*," said developer Nico van Staveren

Shame on Reuters and the "Developer" for publishing false information.

New Computer Age Gas Pumps

New Computer age gas pumps are coming soon, within 10 years.
You just drive up to the pump,the nosel is injected into the car, by robotic pump and you pay, more like a drive thru.
The only problem is the older cars, but adapters are being made for older models. New Model cars will be designed this way soon.
C ya all... Jeff
