> God, don't you just hate pumping gas? I mean, you work so hard to be sitting down for as much of the day as possible, be it at your desk, on the couch or behind the wheel, and then you end up having to stand on your legs when you need to refuel....

Cool yet impractical and silly.

Gas caps with locks… can’t go.  
Obscure filler necks like on old muscle cars with the filler being behind the rear plate.  
Slow.

This reminds me of the Lexus auto parking feature. Cool in concept, very expensive, useless in practice.
