Detroit is now home to the country’s first chunk of road that can wirelessly charge an electric vehicle (EV), whether it’s parked or moving.

    Not a problem unless you have hearing aids or a pacemaker. We’re not going to talk about higher cancer risk either, are we?

      I’m worried about RFI that will interfere with my radio reception.

      There won’t be any health issues from this. They wouldn’t be allowed to use it if it exceeded FCC RF exposure limits, which are quite a few orders of magnitude lower than anything that could cause harm.
