this is my question. like instead of redesigning every car, why not just use some sort of computer vision to remove the gas cap, and then move a robot arm with the nozzle into the car. hell that’s 100% easier to retrofit or make new gas pumps like that than redesign hundreds of thousands of cars.

not to make the point that it would be even easier to just stop production of gas engine cars and go electric.

or the easiest ‘change’ is just to have attendants work the pumps like they do at a lot of gas stations. i remember not even 10 years ago being able to pull up to a full service gas station and never getting out of my car because an employee would come to my car ask me how much i wanted and what type, and then remove my gas cap and insert the nozzle. then go to the next customer.

that won’t work. if everyone were to stop driving or relying on gas tomorrow. the oil companies would still raise the price because they are now “losing money” due to low demand and have to raise prices to make up for the make-believe money they are “losing”
