I doubt it would be inductive c**pling. More likely the road would have magnets and the car would have a coil which would generate electricity as it passed over the magnets, only that would be like a perpetual motion machine, and you cant get something from nothing. I really would be interested in learning about it.

What if the tech was in the tires?

Any way you try to do it, a car can't generate more energy than it takes to run it. There has to be energy put into it from an outside source for it to run.

Magnets? Doubtful. The field would only be efficient if it was a magnetic tunnel. Most of the car would have to be non-ferrous which would make it extremely expensive.
The most efficient t***sportation system would be a huge network of trains
with fleets of non-personal vehicles at the stations that would deliver you to your final destination and then return themselves back to the station.

Photovoltaic: of, relating to, or utilizing the generation of a voltage when radiant energy falls on the boundary between dissimilar substances (such as two different semiconductors)
I didn't know, so after looking it up I thought someone else might need a definition.
Is this being worked on now?

Photovoltaic is anything that generates a voltage when exposed to light.
