Robotic Gas Pump So You Never Have To Get Out Of The Car

What if filling your car up with gas was as easy as buying a burger in the drive-through lane? Husky Corporation manufactures fuel nozzles and accessories and they are working on a robotic fuel pump that fills gas tanks without you having to set foot outside the car. A robotic suction arm opens the fuel door, extends into the fuel neck through a capless insert, and fuel is then pumped using a vacuum-based automatic shutoff. Husky hopes to have the equipment installed on some local gas pumps in six to nine months.

I have to say I am torn between thinking we may be becoming the laziest things on the planet and remembering the continuing temperatures below freezing making me wish they'd hurry up and get the thing on the market. How about you?
