  • Hyundai developed an automatic charging robot that plugs in your electric car for you. 
  • The robot uses a camera and AI to find a car's charging port and plug it in. 
  • Tesla revealed a similar prototype several years ago for a metal charging "snake."

Charging an electric car can be a hassle. But Hyundai envisions a future where drivers won't need to get out of their cars to refuel.
