    2025 VW ID Buzz: Acres of space, but being electric comes at a premium

    I see unforced errors in recent articles here that lead me to believe that there AI at use such as; "Driving slowly, and therefore efficiently, is made simpler by the lack of side bolstering of the seats and that high H-point that magnifies any amount of roll when cornering."

    Headlamp tech that doesn’t blind oncoming drivers—where is it?

    Incredibly clickbait title. "Unfixable bug... have to throw your computer away..." Maybe they should qualify that by saying most end users are very, very unlikely to encounter this exploit. Yes, admins should be very careful about physical access, but end users are very unlikely to ever be...

    "we've got a team of system engineers who are then putting the electronics on that, doing the software and turning it into a battery," he said. "Because we found it's not very compelling to the customer with a bag of white powder." "Customers with a bag of white powder" are notoriously hard to...
