I would assume the batteries are there for backup power in the event of conventional power failure. I've read of sections of wireless streets in French cities where batteries are used to span the gap.The TV person noted that the car didn't have a steering wheel. Well, duh. Did anyone notice the PCC car in the background? |

I misunderstood the article, I thought these were battery powered only.Now I'm wondering what they even need the backup power for. |
