    Charging at home is already more convenient and quicker (in human time) than driving to a gas station, and now they're optimizing the 30 seconds it takes to plug the car in.

      It's not just that; there's a new capability unlocked. You can now have self driving cars charge at remote places and come back without human interaction. Imagine you live in a place with no grid power

        How does wireless charging unlock this usecase? Robot arms exist?

          This is a lot better maintainable than a robot arm.
