The scares about “health effects” will kill this faster than you can say “cancer.”

The benefits aren’t that big — I don’t need to plug in my EV at night? Or my phone?

Call me when you can wirelessly power my EV rolling down the highway or space-based power generation with microwave transmission is real. Of course, if you think central solar receivers kill a lot of birds, bats, and insects, just wait until you have wide high-power microwave beams arriving on the ground.

Direct wireless power and communication interconnections across rotating and moving "joints" - for robots, packaging machinery, assembly machinery, machine tools and more - eliminating costly and failure-prone wiring

Decided to look it up and saw this bullet point. That alone is a huge game changer. Joints of robots or prosthesis have always been one of the weak points in their construction. This could be a real improvement on these devices in ways not imaginable previously.
