Future Electric Cars

In future could wireless power transmission be used to power moving electrical cars?
At present Electric Cars are powered by batteries, fuel cells or internal generators. This increases the weight of the car, batteries need to be recharged, it is difficult to store hydrogen to power a fuel cell and an internal generator is fuelled by fossil fuels. An Electric Car powered by a remote, but continuous power supply would be cheaper than a battery and negate the need for an expensive distribution fuelling system.
I believe it can be, but not as in radio broadcast, that would be rather hazadous to health at the energy levels needed, and wasteful as most would just enter the environment without being used at all.
As induction via inclusions in the road surface yes it is possible, sure a few technical issues, but nothing that can't be overcome. The voltage issue with varying gap is no problem if the power is used to charge a small battery which drives the vehicle. Also means that not every road and every driveway needs to be energized.
And for a really low tech version look no further than the electric trolley buses and trams and electric trains that have been around for years. Now imagine sections of roadway, not all roads fitted with power options, whatever they be, and a modest battery in the vehicle, you charge your battry at home and wherever you park, but also on the powered sections of the roads, that way your range is pretty much limitless and weight and cost of your vehicle is kept low, and any safety aspects of powered sections of roads can be dealt with as only some sections need to be powered not all, and not every vehicle needs to use the power every time. So yes I can see it as a real option. (technology currently used by toll collectors on many toll roads, using radio transponders on your vehicle, can be used to bill every user for the power used). Nothing new or difficult, just expensive and requiring an innovative government or investor with deep pockets.

Xray Model Racing Cars $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles XRAY Model Racing Cars, otherwise known as XRAY was founded by Slovak engineer Juraj Hudy in 2000. Hudy had been making his own model racing cars, mostly gas driven, at home in his garage since the early 1970s. In 1989, after the fall of communism in Eastern Europe, Juraj Hudy introduced a top secret, self developed formula to produce the highest quality parts from spring steel. This material was marketed through his company Hudy and was used in Serpent radio controlled gas cars. In 2000, Hudy established the XRAY Model Racing Cars company to develop high tech, high quality RC model racing cars. Initially beginning in electric onroad racing, the company now also produces both electric and gas offroad cars in a variety of scales.
