We published about G-RO when the company launched its first very successful crowdfunding campaign in 2015 ($3.3M), to support the development of their intelligent luggage G-RO, a well-designed carry-on equipped with strong wheels, a 20,000 mAh battery and a tablet stand among many other cool features.
Tesla may have a pickup truck in the pipeline but YouTuber Simone Giertz doesn’t want to wait around for it. Giertz, best known for her robotics shenanigans on YouTube, needed a pickup truck to carry her materials but she didn’t want a big gas guzzler. So she decided to buy a new Model 3 instead and then proceeded to transform it into a pickup truck herself.
Usually when we’re in a plane, we lose all reception on our phones. However, depending on the flight and the airline company, sometimes there is the option to purchase onboard WiFi, usually at exorbitant prices. However, if you’re the type that must absolutely stay connected, you might be interested to learn that American Airlines has rolled out satellite-based broadband WiFi across its entire mainline narrowbody fleet of planes.
Self-driving cars have come a long way, but for the most part, we still don’t really know how the tech will fare in day-to-day situations. This is why despite there being hundreds, if not thousands of hours of testing having been done, the general rule is that a human backup driver is required to be in the car at all times.
The only way you could buy a used Tesla Model 3 before today was to either find an individual who was looking to part with their car or go to a reseller. Tesla wasn’t selling used Model 3 cars online, until now. The company has started selling used units of its entry-level electric vehicle through its website so finding one is now easier than ever before. However, there’s a caveat.
Our cars are designed to take us from Point A to Point B, but it seems that in a bid to perhaps shake up the way we drive and how we view our cars, Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk has been coming up with some pretty novel ideas. For example, it wasn’t too long ago that he announced that Cuphead would be playable in Tesla’s cars. He also recently revealed that […]
For some reason, Tesla thought that it might be a good idea to put video games in its cars. We suppose it does help set it apart from the competition, although we have to wonder if it will really make it that much bigger of a draw. Regardless, fans of Bethesda’s Fallout Shelter will be pleased to learn that the game will be coming to Tesla cars in the future.
Two of the world’s biggest auto manufacturers have been talking about a potential deal on a partnership for developing self-driving cars. Volkswagen and Ford are reportedly close to reaching a deal, according to the former’s chief executive today. The two companies have been in talks for months and these comments from a high-ranking VW executive show that they have entered into a fairly advanced stage.
Toyota has decided to halt sales of fuel cell vehicles in Norway after a hydrogen refueling station exploded earlier this week. The company that operated the station has also suspended operations at all of its other locations after the explosion. Hyundai has had a similar response to Toyota, it has temporarily stopped selling its fuel cell vehicles as well.
One of the reasons why customers are still hesitant at adopting electric cars is due to range-anxiety. This stems from the early days of electric cars who had extremely short ranges which required them to be charged constantly. Combine that with the lack of chargers back then created a stigma surrounding the concept of EVs.
Opening the emergency exit once the plane’s doors have been armed will result in the safety shute being deployed. That’s precisely what happened on a flight from Manchester last week. A woman opened the emergency exit by mistake, thinking that it was the door to the toilet, and that resulted in a delay of over eight hours for the flight.
We expect that eventually, all our cars will become fully electric. This seems like a logical progression given the focus and emphasis placed on sustainability, and many car makers have actually been increasing their efforts at making EVs. Heck, even non-car companies such as Walmart are also doing their part by expanding on the number of charging stations available at their stores.
As the number of electric vehicles grow, it also means that there needs to be more charging stations created. This is because unlike gas stations which can be commonly found, EV charging stations still aren’t quite as ubiquitous yet. There have been major improvements made over the years, but we reckon that there’s still a lot more that could be done.
