In the future, it could be placed at handicapped parking spots or in garages with automated parking. It\u2019s just one way that life will be easier.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"999\" height=\"615\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UxQt7t0n1-k\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">How does the Ford robot charging station work?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The robot charging station would be operated via smartphone.
