Global inflation lingers in every industry, and the food and beverage vertical is no exception.

Shell Recharge has launched Malaysia's largest electric vehicle (EV) charging station in Genting Highlands, Pahang, about an hour north of Kuala Lumpur.

General Motors' self-driving subsidiary, Cruise, is working towards relaunching its driverless taxi services following an accident last October. The company has since implemented significant changes to enhance safety and restore its operations.

Uprooting ourselves from habits is not easy. And let’s face it, it’s not even natural. Thinking about taking our own beliefs, the same ones we have cemented for years and tearing them up by virtue of a leap into the unknown, is something against human nature. Yet we are attracted by the dark half of the plate, by the hidden side of a way of existing that could actually hide satisfaction and not the presumed disappointment we hypothesize. Electric driving is not exactly what I would recommend – at least not with the current state of infrastructures and charging queues – especially to make the most of your precious free time. Behind the scarecrow of calculations on average range, however, lies the possibility of savoring the territory in an even more intimate way. This is why in reality there are exceptions that make an electric road trip the best choice you can make for a weekend away. I can hear the rustling of my thoughts, the rolling of the tires that advance more slowly than usual while for once my conscience is not frowning at me as I interrupt the silence and quietness of nature. That weekend spent across Piedmont’s finest area – Langhe – has remained more impressed on me than usual and precisely because roaming with zero emissions has given me the opportunity to savor every little detail. The stops, more numerous than usual and never characterized by the on/off of the internal combustion engine, have made me discover hidden sides of a route that I thought I knew by heart. And then corners where you can pull over, get out and breathe deeply the scent of freshly cut grass carried by the wind. Those distant noises, of the farms and their farmers in full swing, ready to welcome tourists coming here from all over the world. The peace of the senses, outside and also inside the cockpit. All amplified by the absence of a running engine two steps away from me.

Uber Technologies announced a new partnership with autonomous technology startup Avride to expand its network of self-driving technology partners.

Why is no one talking about the C40? Why aren’t the streets literally invaded by this Volvo? I feel like I’m the only one staunchly defending a model that actually doesn’t need any crusaders to support its qualities, because it’s a very, very interesting car. The C40 is first and foremost the first fully electric Volvo ever produced. When it was presented, a couple of years ago, it was nothing more than a sort of evolution of the small XC40 crossover, with which it also shares the platform. From here, the path towards the electrification of the Swedish brand would be marked, first with a full-electric XC40 and then with an entire range that places the letter “E” in front in such a way as to best distinguish the most environmentally friendly Volvos.
