Uber has announced it is suspending self-driving car tests following a fatal accident.
If you've been keeping track of new technology, you have probably heard of self-driving cars. Well, driverless cars took a major leap forward last weekend in Germany. German Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt and chairman of Deutsche Bahn Ruediger Grube were among the passengers of the first self-driving bus journey in Germany, a development that may radically change transportation, not only in Europe, but all over the world. The bus, dubbed “Olli”, made several rounds around the Euref-Campus premises in Berlin, and is due to undergo further testing in DB’s Bavaria-based Bad Birnbach test track before it will can be approved to hit the open roads.
If you're planning on hailing an UberX in Sydney or Melbourne in Australia this week, your ride could get a little boost thanks to free Wi-Fi and a super-fast mobile charger. In partnership with Australian telecommunications company Optus, Uber will soon trial 4G Wi-Fi in 100 UberX vehicles in the two cities, it was announced Wednesday.According to an online statement, Optus' Wi-Fi will allow up to 10 devices to be connected in the vehicle at one time, meaning you and all your friends should have plenty of selfie bandwidth.

Corolla’s stylish, dynamic, and athletic personality makes an excellent first impression. With its low centre of gravity and firmly planted stance, Corolla is poised for action from every angle. Designers created sleek headlights to express a sense of restrained aggression, while engineers pushed the wheels out to the corners to ensure Corolla is ready to handle the twists and turns of everyday life.Every model features refreshed front and rear styling for 2023. All grades now feature LED daytime running lights, while the S-Line Corollas also receive newly designed LED headlights and an all-new rear sport diffuser. The sporty S-Line further accentuates Corolla’s fun-to-drive nature with styling cues such as a wider honeycomb grille, dual tip exhaust, and rear spoiler.Inside, Corolla offers the driver and up to four passengers a cabin designed for exceptional comfort and convenience. The instrument panel is cleverly shaped to widen the driver’s field of view. Soft-touch controls provide ease of use while generous use of premium materials conveys an elevated sense of style.For 2023, Toyota makes big changes under the hood – upgrading all L-line Corolla models from a 1.8L engine to the same 2.0L Dynamic Force four-cylinder engine found in the sportier S series. This upgrade boosts output by 30 horsepower to 169 peak horsepower for even swifter acceleration. At the same time, the 2.0L engine boost fuel efficiency. Paired to a direct shift CVT and electric power steering, every Corolla delivers big driving fun.
Extremely emotive, extremely adventurous, extremely different. The new all-electric ID. XTREME concept vehicle demonstrates the enormous performance capacity and extraordinary versatility of Volkswagen’s modular electric drive matrix (MEB). A performance drive on the rear axle and software adjustments to the control unit give the ID. XTREME impressive off-road capabilities. The fully electric all-wheel drive develops a system power of 285 kW/387 PS. This corresponds to a performance increase of around 30 percent compared to the gene donor ID.4 GTX.Take an Xtra portion of passion, an Xtra pinch of enthusiasm and a test vehicle that is no longer needed in series development after successful trials. The Xtravagant things that can come out of this are impressively demonstrated by the ID. XTREME off-road concept car.“The all-electric concept vehicle with all-wheel drive is based on the ID.4 GTX and convincingly demonstrates the high technical potential of the modular electric drive matrix (MEB),” explains Andreas Reckewerth, Head of MEB Complete Vehicle. “The impressive electric power and the chassis with off-road capability are guarantees for extremely emotive driving experiences both on the road and on off-road terrain. In order to achieve this, the ID. XTREME combines the strengths of a modern SUV with the adventurous spirit and 4x4 capabilities of a robust off-roader.” The concept vehicle was designed and built in Volkswagen’s Engineering department in the team led by Andreas Reckewerth.
