DoorDash's investment in Also aims to develop and accelerate the deployment of autonomous delivery at scale, focusing on areas not yet fully solved for, including intersections of roadways and bike lanes.
Porter complained about difficulties when trying to insert lines in Excel. (Which, to be fair to Microsoft, is relatively straightforward - need to insert a row? Right-click on a selected row. Need to insert a line in text? Alt+Return is probably going to be your friend.) But then Porter turned to that other productivity stalwart, Word. "Never underestimate Microsoft's ability to make things more complicated," he said.
has unveiled the eco Mazdaconcept sports car Vision X-Coupe that can capture and recycle carbon emissions the more it drives around. Equipped with the Mobile Carbon Capture technology developed by the manufacturer, the vehicle filters out the carbon dioxide directly from the exhaust system. Normally, cars release carbon dioxide into the air through their exhaust, serving as one of the main gases that causes climate change.
As part of its new futuREady plan unveiled today, the French car company has its sights set on becoming the reference European automaker at a global level by 2030, and electric cars will play a huge role in this new game plan. In total, Renault Group wants to launch no fewer than 22 new models in Europe by the decade's end, and 16 of these will be electric.
This is the first-ever Chinese Gran Turismo performance racer to be materialized, and the air flow obsession goes beyond everything you would imagine.

Like the others, the Epiq rides on the VW MEB+ platform, which is simplified and front-wheel-drive to reduce costs and keep these vehicles affordable.

The company says the performance car goes from zero to 62 mph in just 1.8 seconds, which is better than the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra.
There are two types of electric car companies in the world: ones that slap parts wherever they fit, and others that apparently run computational fluid-dynamics simulations over the most mundane features to squeeze every last ounce of range out of their cars. Guess which one Rivian decided to be when designing the upcoming R2 SUV. One of the tiny features that Rivian's engineers obsessed over when designing the truck was the rear wiper.
The Hyundai Staria Electric is powered by an 84-kilowatt-hour battery that enables a WLTP combined range of 248 miles. It's not based on the E-GMP platform, but it borrows its best feature. This is the Hyundai Staria Electric, a battery-powered minivan that will compete with models like the Volkswagen ID. Buzz and Kia PV5 when it goes on sale later this year in Europe and Korea.
