Personnel
gollark: It could be done partly manually for now anyway.
gollark: It would be pretty good, though. You could actually replace dying parts (curse nonreplaceable phone batteries!), get upgrades as technology improves, and with eventual infrastructure support swap batteries at stations on roads or something.
gollark: If the battery modules were actually standardized you could swap them out as needed, which would be neat.
gollark: Those don't have good energy density, though, compared to batteries.
gollark: But we got it for phone charging. Eventually. Sort of. Ish.
