Blast From the Past – Electrified Roads

Google Books has just recently included the ability to search through a number of magazines, and while perusing the offerings, I came across this article from August 1990 about electrified roads. The premise being that it works for slot cars, so why not real cars?

This was dreamt up in sunny California, and it obviously didn’t go through the check of limited applicability across the varied road conditions found around the continent, from snow covered roads to pot-holed back alleys. Not to mention the maintenance on this system would be horrendous!
