Reliable wireless inductive charging for cell phones doesn't even exist. I imagine an inductive charger for a car would function very well as a harddrive eraser as well, especially in 'inductive road' form.
There will be significant power losses (10-20%) and alignment issues.
One thing I really like about the whole inductive road concept is that it totally removes the need for a battery, one of the most expensive parts of an electric car.
You'd basically have a full-size slot car (if you remember those) track (but without sliding contacts).
