I got a lockable fuel cap - does he pick that as well?

ChrisUK · Feb 26, 2008

How would you pay as well would he have another arm with a chip and pin machine

This robot could be a gay mans dream.

Think about it lol

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.

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.

it might not be. if u watch the video the robot does a lot of fannying around

Focus Owner · Feb 26, 2008

just watched it

utter rubbish all you need is someone to put the diesel on the unleaded stand and it breaks

alainax · Feb 26, 2008

what if you only want to put a tenner in?

surely most cars have locking fuel caps so it's completely pointless???

Jamie · Feb 26, 2008

aye locking fuel cap here aswell

sludgeguts · Feb 26, 2008

Not only is mine a locking fuel cap, it's a real tawt of a thing to open in any case.

Hellcat · Feb 26, 2008

What about those with big caps like the Coupe and Bini?

Also my biggest worry..

It uses a database to identify every vehicle that pulls up before selecting the correct fuel.

Oh great - if the database is wrong then blam.. wrong fuel.

Focus Owner · Feb 26, 2008

moddified cars etc i bet i cant tell drifrence if wrong one is on wrong stand
