does it know that on some cars you need to turn the nozzle to the 8 o'clock position for a smooth fill up?
Wouldnt it be easier to just have people do it like in the old days
in dubai every pump has an indian guy stood at it. they do everything, even clean your windows while you just sit there with the AirCon keeping you cool. give them a 20p tip and they're over the moon. poor buggers, lower caste indians have difficult lives.
WAs just going to post this

whats wrong with the current way of doing it?
unless you are maybe disabled, i see it as being a bit pointless, they are likely to be vandalised, cost lots of money.
and when you fill up your own car with fuel, if you slip and scratch the paintwork, or fill up with the wrong fuel, whos fault is it - yours (unless the garage have fuel pumps mixed up).
whereas should the robot go wrong, the garage is likely liable
also, how much would it put the prices up :idea:

At least £2 a litre. But who cares its going to end up this expensive anyway and we'll pay it because we are a bunch of submissive *****'s.
