🔲 110 KM/H (68 MPH) ON AN E‑SCOOTER: A WAKE‑UP CALL FOR URBAN SAFETY.

👉 A high-power (more than 10,000 watt) Teverun e‑scooter rider fleeing police in Zurich at an unbelievable 110 km/h (68 mph) is a shocking reminder of how quickly reckless decisions can endanger lives.

👉 What began as an attempted escape ended with a crash into a tram and an arrest - a situation that could have had far more tragic consequences.

👉 Incidents like this show why responsibility on the road matters more than ever, no matter the vehicle.

👉 Teverun E-Scooter: The newly redesigned Supreme 7260R packs extreme power with dual 15,000‑watt motors, a massive 72‑V Blade SK EV‑grade battery, and a boost‑ready 70A controller that pushes this machine to an incredible 120 km/h. With up to 200 km of range, this e‑scooter turns every ride into a race with the wind and sets a new benchmark for high‑performance electric mobility. It's only for private but not public use.

🔲 THE SCIENCE IS CLEAR : YOUR BRAIN CAN'T DRIVE AND TALK WELL - DRIVER DISTRACTION FROM TALKING IS A SERIOUS CONCERN.

👉 Shintaro Uehara’s research at Fujita Health University highlights a critical but often overlooked reality: talking while driving significantly reduces cognitive capacity, even when our hands remain on the wheel and our eyes stay on the road.

👉 They researched that human brain simply isn’t wired to juggle meaningful conversation and full situational awareness at the same time.

👉 As vehicles become more connected and communication inside the cabin increases, understanding these cognitive limits is essential for designing safer mobility experiences.

👉 How should the automotive industry balance connectivity with the need to protect drivers from cognitive overload?

🔲 ANYTHING BUT ELECTRIC - 12 CYLINDER FOR THE LUXURY TOYOTA CENTURY COUPE. DEFYING THE EV WAVE WITH OLD-WORLD LUXURY POWER.

👉 Toyota has launched the Century Coupe as the halo for a new ultra‑luxury marque, presenting an imposing V12‑powered coupé aimed at competing with Rolls‑Royce and Bentley

👉 The car intentionally rejects the full‑electric trend, signaling a bet that a subset of high‑net‑worth buyers still value the emotional appeal, sound, and refinement of a multi‑cylinder engine.

👉 That strategy responds to a clear problem for luxury automakers: many traditional luxury buyers remain reluctant to adopt EVs, preferring tactile refinement and the status cues of combustion power, so Toyota is offering a combustion flagship to capture those customers.

🔲 OPEN‑SOURCE CROWD-DENSITY ESTIMATION PLATFORM.

👉 The Crowd-Density-Estimation repository provides an open-source collection of code, resources, and a README for crowd density estimation tasks, released under an MIT license.

👉 The project appears to be an early or small-scale effort intended as a platform or starting point for crowd-counting and density-estimation solutions.

👉 Repository activity is minimal (one commit, no stars or forks visible), suggesting the project is a appetizer for further development or contributors to become in-depth development.

🔲 MODULAR BUTTON ADAPTER - BRINGING BACK TACTILE CONTROLS TO TOUCH-FIRST NEVS.

👉 Too many full-screen touch controls in new energy vehicles reduce eyes-on-road time and make simple actions like climate, volume, or defogging slower and more distracting than tactile switches.

👉 The button adapter is a pragmatic compromise: it restores physical, muscle-memory controls for core functions without forcing manufacturers to abandon modern interfaces.

👉 For safety and everyday usability, automakers should offer configurable hard keys or detachable button modules as standard rather than as optional accessories.

🔲 CURBS WITH INTELLIGENCE? - THE CURB CHARGER, URBAN EV CHARGING GOES MODULAR, INVISIBLE, AND READY FOR SCALE.

👉 The Curb Charger is a compact, two-part curbside charging unit designed for easy retrofit, modular maintenance, and minimal visual impact in urban streetscapes.

👉 A year-long pilot in Cologne (GER) showed high reliability, heavy daily use, and technical availability above 99 percent, prompting the company to move the product into series production.

👉 The system aims to simplify installation in public road space and speed deployment of accessible charging for city fleets and residents.

👉 Up to 22 kW charging power

👉 Compliant with calibration law

👉 Intuitive one-hand operation without curb contact

👉 Integrated 4G modem and Ethernet

👉 Intelligent load management

👉 Authentication via RFID, QR code, or operator app

👉 Cooling and heating concept for reliable operation in all seasons

👉 Reliable operation in rain through encapsulated electronics (IP68)

👉 Easy retrofit and maintenance through replaceable electronic module

🔲 THE TEDDY REFERENCE - FAR FROM PERFECT IN THE TEDDY-OBSTACLE ADAS TEST.

👉 In China, country-made test vehicles were required to detect and avoid a teddy bear placed on the road, approaching it from both the front and the rear.

👉 Recent ADAS tests across six Chinese models show advances in vehicle software and sensors, with Leapmotor nailing the braking scenario on its first attempt and Li Auto executing a successful emergency stop.

👉 XPENG produced mixed results, Tesla’s forward ADAS missed the obstacle while reverse performance improved, and Xiaomi failed the braking test, so ADAS testing results are far from perfect.

👉 These outcomes highlight China’s accelerating ADAS development while underscoring the urgent need for standardized, repeatable testing before declaring systems production‑ready. Where are we so far?

🔲 AUSTIN CYBERCABS - STEERING WHEELS TODAY, DRIVERLESS TOMORROW: TESLA’S ITERATIVE STRATEGY.

👉 Tesla’s Cybercab prototypes have been spotted testing on Austin streets, signaling a deliberate push from Tesla toward purpose‑built robotaxis and real‑world validation.

👉 The on‑road tests.-with temporary steering controls and safety drivers-reflect a strategy of iterative public testing to accelerate development while navigating regulatory and safety constraints.

👉 If successful, Cybercabs could reshape urban mobility, but widespread deployment will hinge on rigorous validation, regulation, and public trust.
