Wild Ideas or Fantasies?


Well, once in a while, I get interesting ideas or fantasies. OK, I could describe it using adjectives like "Wild", "Awesome",  and so on... But I don't like to do a self boasting here. These may sound like wonderful ideas, but may lack the technology or economics to be implemented. Though, I like to see these ideas into action, I am not contemplating  to take them to the next level. So, let me start spelling out one such idea (or fantasy) here. 

"As you travel in a car on a road, the heat generated due to the movement of wheels on the road, should be used to charge a layer of energy cells (solar) that are embedded on the road! and the car can draw energy from the road, when required, and when being stationed!, to run its AC's and Entertainment systems!  
Of course this might sound improbable at least for the next 25 years, but hope something close to it could spring up after 25+ years. This requires radical technologies like roads being laid with energy cells that can withstand all the rough movements on it, heat and other climatic conditions. 
An even still better one would be: Once a car (or any vehicle) has started moving it should at least  get or derive part of its energy required for further acceleration from the underlying roads."
