app103:
No devices in or on your car. No scanning your license plate. No key fobs. No QR codes.
Biometrics...your finger is all you need...pay by touch. The same finger can fuel up any car you happen to be driving, even a rental car. And if your car is stolen, they don't get to take your finger with it, usually.

And if they can move this to the trigger on the nozzle, you wouldn't have to even think about it....except in winter, when you wouldn't be able to get any gas without taking your glove off. Or when driving through NJ or Oregon, where it's illegal to pump your own gas.

but 1 out of 700 people have the same fingerprint!
maybe dna check on spit or skin would be more reliable

hello!
when will we eventually be able to go to a petrol station, fill our car, and pay automatically, contactless, instantly?
by a system that will recognize our plate and charge our account accordingly?
ok, if you want we can enter our pin to authorise the transaction, but for me personally it isn't necessary
thanks!

You do realise we have Contactless payment available at Tesco Petrol stations amongst many many others...for the most part, ASDA petrol stations are unmanned and require you to enter your Credit Card before pumping fuel...which...to be honest...if you are refueling...you are going to be standing around anyway, so it's not like you could be doing anything other than standing there...so it doesn't really take extra time :huh:

I just used BP and it didn't have any such feature! Do I need a special card to pay contactless?

Ah we finally get to Gattaca where only the elite families, like Gore Vidal's, can gas up. If your blood ain't blue you're walkin;.

Why would petrol companies deny money from people with inferior or not specific dna?
