For the Nikola Tesla fans on here , who thinks that the future is going to be wireless electricity?

One corporation that I found within 5 minutes of googling is WiTricity they seem to be having pretty good progress with the technology and over distances of a couple meters to a few centimeters , FOR MEMORY NOT EXACT SOURCE INFORMATION , with an efficiency of 40-95% and higher depending on the distance.

The efficiency doesnt seem far off , to where I think soon they will be able to have only a handful of towers to supply energy at good efficiency.

I would love to see electric cars with no batteries , whether the energy is coming from a tower miles away or every few meters coils set up somehow along the roads to power cars.

Almost limitless power , huge power to weight ratio , and amazing efficiency without ever having to refuel , recharge , or replace any energy into the vehicle. I know this is far off but electric cars with 500-2000lbs less of bodyweight and instant power sounds great.
