How about space solar collectors beaming power directly to the car?

Today it might be just fragging, but tomorrow non-invasive BCI instruments will mean the end of private thought. If, in the future, there are devices that can translate thought into a binary stream, that stream can be stolen, used for black mail or used for any other ulterior purpose.

Bye-bye lie detector, Hello Thought-Dumper!
Bye-bye illegal wiretapping, Hello illegal brain-tapping!
Bye-bye laptop searches, Hello brain searches!

In Orwell's 1984, people betrayed others. Big Brother wont be needing those stool pigeons now. Alright, this is taking the argument a bit too far, but it can happen.

The Resistance will have to use drugs, but Albert Hofmann is dead. The Resistance will need to bomb the Establishment, but Kaczynski is in Jail and will probably be dead as well. On the bright side, Dubya does not have any male progeny.
