I like it, FREE gas! The guy didn't have to get out of the car OR pay for it. Just gas'n GO-o-o!

I think this is utterly pointless. Trust the dutch to come up with this. Lets all have a smoke and think up pointless stuff. haha.

Nou ik denk dat ik toch liever zonder die Robot tank. Die rabot doet 3 keer langer over,mits als dit ding sneller kan in de toekomst ,dan ben ik een voorstander om in alle station's te monteren, tegen die tijd rijden we dan misschien niet meer (veel)op benzine:)

Working with us!

how do you pay, and why not just get out of the car and put it in yourself, unless your doors are locked shut. cool robot though.

or if someone steals your car....

Impressive, but it did take a bit of a long time to do the job. Surely if the fuel was injected into the car directly from the robot via a nozzle on the robot connected to a hose and tank of fuel, it would eliminate the need for the robot to pick up the nozzle and insert it into the car, saving a bit of time.

Article on this said the people register with the gas station and are given an RFID sticker for their windows. That sticker is notifies it who you are and charges your credit card you put on file. I think it would be awesome in the dead of winter or a super rainy day where you just don't want to get out of your car.

I'm sure glad they've solved that problem. Sometimes after pumping a whole tank of gas, I'm so tired I can barely drive home. Why doesn't the robot do that for me too, then I would be completely redundant?
