Qualcomm has installed 100 meter segment of test track called FABRIC, in collaboration with French institution VEDECOM.

 Qualcomm Principal Engineer Bill Von Novak said:

To me, the biggest advantage is allowing cars with smaller batteries to make useful trips. That includes picking up the kids on a busy day and getting a little bit of charge from the roadway

This technology is useful for cars which have lighter batteries and for car owners who make longer trips. It will pave way for all electric cars to have small batteries in future. It will cut down overall consumer cost. This initiative will also create a greater incentives for cars to go electric.
