gas station of the future!

I wonder how this would work if someone pulled up on the wrong side!

its hard to imagine thst thing being cost effective compared to a gas jockey... its painfully slow too!

Looks like an example of just because you can does not mean you should.

Cheaper to go self serve v installing a complicated mechanism that will surely require maintenance.

impressive machine, no doubt...but it's like someone spent millions to build a device to break open a peanut.. :D

Perhaps makes sense in remote areas. I'd like to see it work with a modified car....how about a hood mounted gas inlet on a 911.

I thought this was the gas station of the future.....

What a waste.

I have had to refuel in howling winds in the winter but really how lazy can you get?

They're also developing a Trunk Monkey version.

real men get out and put the nozle in the tank opening
then stand around and look manly


this thing is for chicks or other people who need the time to put on make up...

res ipsa loquitur

stupid, won't fly.
If anything we need FASTER service at the pump.
I find myself allowing 15 minutes to fuel up now.

Faster 'dump it in' technology please!

this wouldnt have anything to do with buying the Hummer recently would it ;)

This is one of those producs thats answers a problem that no one ever had

that thing ain't getting near my bike!

Would the production version really play porno music every time you pull up?

That's one of the advantages to having my own little "gas station" in the garage... I can fill up in 5-10 minutes, before leaving for work. The tank for my e300d will be big enough to do about 700 miles.

Very, um articulate. Yeah, Yeah, That's the ticket !

Why on earth would they keep the fuel filler nozzle and hose the same as a human filled one? Stupid waste of technology.

Yeah, but, nothin beats the smell of benzene in the morning!! A Homo Sapien, could have gassed two cars in the time it took this machine to open the gas door, pull the cap, and insert the nozzle.

What is the point of making this?? Its not like people are having water fights at the pump with premium fuel.

I like the music, reminds me of 80s porn flicks. I wonder if the arm could do other things :)
