This would be incredibly energy inefficient first of all, because a lit of energy gets lost when using induction and that rises really quickly with the distance from the source.
Second of all, that would be really expensive to build.
Third of all, this doesn’t solve the real problem of individualized travel. Cars are really inefficient, becuase: 1. Their infrastructure wastes a lot of space. Most people travel alone in their cars, which means, you have all this sourounding machinery you need to transport in addition, which is huge. Cars get into traffic jams, so the city decides to widen the rode. This moves the whole city further appart, which means people need the car more often, which means there are more traffic jams.
2. They are hugely energy inefficient, because (as said before), you need to move the whole car around just to transport one person
3. They are the most dangerous mode of travel and most often endanger bike drivers or pedestrians.
4. They are loud and stink
You could solve most of these problems with proper public transport. These “futuristic” ideas, like inductive roads or Musks Hyperloop are just a way for big companies to direct funding and attention away from public transport.
Sure, but when a lot of the things don’t need to carry the fuel with them and induction roadways do it all in the moment?
Do you mean railways?
No.
Here, let me DDG two words for you: https://www.enrx.com/en/Induction-Applications/Inductive-charging-and-power-applications/Dynamic-electric-roadway
