1. A system comprising:

  • an inducing electrode positioned on a first device, the first device being positionable at a position along a road;

    a power source in communication with the inducing electrode; and

    a processor in communication with the power source and configured to;

    determine an electrostatic force (ESF)-based haptic effect, andcause the power source to transmit a signal configured to cause the inducing electrode to generate an inductive coupling with an induced electrode positioned on a second device that is remote from and movable relative to the first device, the inductive coupling configured to cause the induced electrode to output the ESF-based haptic effect to a surface of the second device,wherein the second device is a component of a vehicle.
