As we head farther into the future the things we are used to dealing with are changing and becoming more and more modern and almost futuristic. Even automakers are looking ahead and are creating futuristic looking vehicles that can hover over the ground and even drive in the water. If we are going to buy these futuristic cars than why not have robots fill the tank up for us?

A Dutch company has invented a robot that can fill up any car. How does it do it? The arm-like ‘bot comes loaded with a database of gas tank locations for different vehicles. It then opens your tank, unscrews the gas cap and inserts the nozzle without danger of scratching your paint. More amazingly, it won’t forget to screw the gas cap back on. Something that most of us forget halfway down the street.

The days of the gas attendant have long been extinct and many of us crave the days when we didn’t have to get out of our cars. As much as we would love to use these amazing robots we might find it will be awhile before this happens. Each robot will cost around $111,100. We might have to wait for gas prices to level out before anyone can even think about getting one.
