Plugging your electric car into its charger with your own two hands is so 2013. So, it’s a good thing Tesla Motors is building a robot that will plug your vehicle in for you.
Last week, the company released a video on its YouTube channel that shows a snakelike robot slithering toward the charging port of Tesla’s Model S electric car. The bot appears to connect with the port without any help from humans and, presumably, stays there until the car is fully charged before slithering away.
