Induction can work over great distance.
Tesla, as in Nikola, was testing it over 100 years ago at great distances.
No reason to think that the induction wire would be built into the top layer of asphalt.
I would say for it to work, especially with a moving target, it would need to be in the top 4 inches at the deepest. Even if it could be deeper, I've seen potholes around a foot deep.
But here's another problem I just thought about. Can you imagine how much people would freak out over the idea of electricity radiating from the roads?
