Tesla has taken and obtained a patent for a technology that enables wireless charging of the brand's electric cars. It is not yet known what the brand will use the technology for.

Because with the patent, Tesla has a technology that makes something otherwise unreasonable quite easy for the robot taxis. Namely charging without human intervention.
Specifically, Tesla has been granted a patent for four different ways to charge wirelessly. The news comes after the brand's chief designer Franz von Holzhausen confirmed that Tesla is working on solutions for wireless charging. And it must have succeeded now.
How much Tesla intends to tell the outside world about wireless charging is unknown. But according to plan, the car brand will present a self-driving car on October 10. Maybe a robot taxi.
