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..

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.

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! |

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.

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