Tesla’s vehicles have been setting the standards for traditional automakers in a handful of ways — the latest being the onset of a centralized touchscreen instead of buttons. Despite some recent regulator concerns over what activities the screen can be used for, several automakers have already been or are now putting … [continued]
Teslas are famously feature-rich automobiles — to an increasing extent, they can even drive themselves.

Byton is stepping up its digital life by unleashing more of the potential its M-Byte has to offer at CES 2020. The company made a strong point to deliver more on its future user experience with a wave of content partners that spells the beginning of more to come.

Aston Martin has been in talks with LeTV to explore “the two companies working together on research projects ranging from connected car technologies through to manufacturing consultation on new electric vehicles,” according to an official statement shared by InsideEVs. For readers confused by the LeTV–Faraday Future connection, yes, LeTV was started … [continued]
