I’m not an expert or anything, but my masters was focused on driving technology, and specifically the intersection of technology and sociology. A conclusion I often felt drawn to is that, while humans are still the drivers, the technology will always lack efficiency.
Charging highway is a neat idea but having it shared between vehicles like trucks which try to travel a consistent speed, and cars which change lanes etc, means that I think the human factor will complicate the process (and safety) to a high degree.
There are a great many advancements we can make to automotive technology if we reduce our reliance on a human driver.
For sure, the human/ machine interface is leading. Sometimes humans adapt, and at other times it’s the machine that needs to change. Especially in these cases the question is what or who defines efficiency. Some might say (human) need, comfort & accessibility.
