Volvo working on mobile fuel delivery program?

Volvo is reportedly working on a mobile fuel-delivery system that would eliminate the need to visit gas stations.
The ‘self-filling’ cars can monitor fuel levels and automatically request a fill-up from mobile fuel suppliers whenever the tank us running low, unnamed sources have told the Daily Mail.

Fuel suppliers would be supplied with a unique security code that provides access to the fuel cap, further reducing the need for any owner involvement in the refueling process.

Volvo has not publicly confirmed the report, though it acknowledges that such features are merely a unique application of existing technology.

“The internet of things has hit the automotive industry and the widespread use of smartphones is unlocking new potential in what you can do connecting a car with a customer,” the company’s head of technology, Klas Bendrik, said in a statement.
