Jidu, a Chinese EV startup, plans to incorporate a ChatGPT-like product called Ernie Bot into their cars’ user interface and driver assistance tech. The combined tech aims to improve user interactivity and enhance the driver experience.
2030: The Bert Bot becomes an optional windshield wiper management AI add-on, so Ernie doesn't get lonely? We can dream.
Due to the overwhelmingly positive feedback of their 2022 prototype, MINI revealed this week that they will produce a limited run of their Cooper SE Convertibles, an all-electric hatchback with a drop-top. Sorry, the rest of the world, they are only making 999 of them, and they're destined exclusively for the European market.
Does this mean if we give positive feedback hard enough, we can get Apple to bring back headphone jacks? We can dream.
A solar EV charging company premiered the world's first DC-to-DC rooftop solar-powered hybrid bidirectional EV fast-charger (say that 3x fast). Enteligent chargers use rooftop solar panels to charge EVs three times faster than the best home AC chargers available today.
Cool, but maybe when the EV is fully charged, you could send some of that energy into the dryer so our laundry is done three times faster? We can dream.
