BTS. The Pussycat Dolls. "Scrubs." It's en vogue these days to make a comeback. Could Tesla's recently discontinued electric cars — the Model S and Model X — eventually join the trend? Lars Moravy, Tesla's vice president of vehicle engineering, left the door open for the luxury sedan and SUV model revivals in an interview with the "Ride the Lightning" podcast released this weekend. "It was just like: now is not the right time to keep this one going," he said about the decision to ax the cars. "That doesn't mean it goes away forever. Never say never." To be clear, Moravy did not say Tesla is actively working on a new Model S or Model X — but he also did not rule it out. He also offered a fresh reason for the car's discontinuation: global crash-test requirements. "Every five years or so, Euro NCAP updates their protocols," Moravy said, adding that Tesla wants to make "the safest cars on the road," which requires structural updates. The platform "was never designed for" some newer crash cases, he said, including small-overlap and offset tests. Tesla had made "band-aids along the way," but he said keeping the vehicles compliant would require "a massive overhaul." Tesla has previously said the cars were discontinued because of new business goals. During a January earnings call, CEO Elon Musk said the automaker was giving the vehicles an "honorable discharge" as it shifted its focus toward autonomous vehicles and robotics. The final Model S and Model X units rolled off the Fremont, California, production line in mid-May as the plant began transforming into an assembly line for Tesla's Optimus robot. On the podcast, Moravy said Tesla sold about 750,000 Model S and Model X cars during their lifetime. When asked directly if the Model S and

Everyone seems to be mad about Ferrari’s first electric vehicle. The vehicle is called Luce and was revealed on Monday. The design of the five-seater (gasp!) was led in large part by Jony Ive and the design firm he runs with Marc Newson, LoveFrom. While it ticks a lot of spec sheet boxes — it boasts 1,000 horsepower and the ability to hit 60 miles per hour in just over two seconds — it’s tracking to be the most mocked new vehicle since the Cybertruck. This widespread rejection of the wedge-shaped, Nissan-esque car covers seemingly the whole spectrum, too, from the typical flimsy knee-jerk reactions to the positively vitriolic. The company’s stock price is down, and even some of the most down-the-middle news outlets are admitting it in their own ways. (Bloomberg said the Luce is “quite a stretch.”) The question underneath all of this immediate backlash is singular: Who is the Luce for? Certainly it’s not for me, or for almost anyone reading this. The Luce will cost around $650,000, and this is Ferrari we’re talking about, so even if you have that kind of money, you’re dealing with a company that is, shall we say, selective about its customers. Is it for existing Ferrari owners? Typically, that answer is yes — more than 80% of the 14,000 people who bought a Ferrari last year already own one of its vehicles. It’s hard to imagine that crowd being sufficiently excited about a car that is so devoid of the fierce Ferrari angles that have adorned bedroom walls for decades. Is it for other car designers? Possibly. Car companies borrow ideas all the time, and there’s definitely plenty on the interior — which features a lot of clicky buttons and knobs, a marked departure for Ive — that I’d personally

By LEAH WILLINGHAM BOSTON (AP) — Drivers for ride-hailing apps such as Uber and Lyft celebrated Tuesday after Massachusetts became the first state to recognize their union, a milestone in the growing effort to organize gig-economy workers classified as independent contractors under federal labor law. The victory could provide a model for similar campaigns gaining traction in states including California and Illinois, where labor organizers are increasingly targeting app-based industries as drivers also grapple with the rapid expansion of self-driving technology. As drivers waved signs and chanted with the gold dome of the Massachusetts State House providing a backdrop, labor leaders described Friday’s certification as the largest private-sector organizing win since Ford autoworkers unionized in 1941. Jean Fredo, who has driven for Uber for more than seven years, said he hopes the union will bring better pay, stronger protections against sudden deactivations and more stability for drivers. “With the union, it will not feel like we’re working for nothing,” he said in French through a translator. “Now the money will not only stay in the billionaire’s pockets. The money will actually come to the workers who work very hard.” Uber and Lyft said they planned to work with the new bargaining framework as negotiations move forward. Uber said it would work with the union and regulators while preserving “driver flexibility and hard-won benefits,” while Lyft said it was committed to “engaging in good faith” and “helping drivers succeed while keeping rideshare affordable and dependable for everyone who counts on it.” The certification became possible after the state’s voters approved a 2024 ballot measure creating a first-in-the-nation framework allowing ride-hailing drivers to unionize and bargain collectively while remaining independent contractors — a model some business groups and legal scholars argue could face antitrust challenges under federal law.

BOSTON (AP) — Drivers in Massachusetts for ride-hailing apps such as Uber and Lyft became the first in the nation Tuesday to certify a union, marking a milestone in the growing effort to organize gig-economy workers amid ongoing concerns over pay, expenses and working conditions. The victory could provide a model for similar campaigns gaining traction in states including California and Illinois, where labor organizers are increasingly targeting app-based industries as drivers also grapple with the rapid expansion of self-driving vehicle technology. Fully driverless commercial rides without a human operator are not currently permitted in Massachusetts. As drivers waved signs and chanted with the gold dome of the Massachusetts State House providing a backdrop, labor leaders described the victory as the largest private-sector organizing win since Ford autoworkers unionized in 1941. Jean Fredo, who has driven for Uber for more than seven years, said he hopes the union will bring better pay, stronger protections against sudden deactivations and more stability for drivers. “With the union, it will not feel like we’re working for nothing,” he said in French through a translator. “Now the money will not only stay in the billionaire’s pockets. The money will actually come to the workers who work very hard.” Fredo said when he started driving for Uber he appreciated the flexibility and the ability to make his own schedule while still being present for his family. But over time, he said, he found himself working longer hours while earning less as gas and maintenance costs climbed. Drivers can also lose access to the apps with little warning or recourse, he said. “I live with stress — always scared to lose my app,” Fredo said. “This is not a way to live.” Fredo said he immediately joined the organizing effort when he heard about it and

Special operations units might rely on uncrewed glider drones to get resupplied in the near future. At the very least, the concept was put to the test during the largest special operations training exercise in Europe this month. NATO forces, including elements from Army Special Forces, took part in the Trojan Footprint Exercise. During one part of the exercise, U.S. troops and members of the Romanian Air Force dropped Grasshopper autonomous aerial resupply vehicles from an Alenia C-27J plane over North Macedonia to reach troops on the ground. The long, coffin-shaped device dropped out of the cargo plane, its glider wings extending to help guide it to the target before an onboard parachute fired. Photos posted to the military’s Defense Visual Information Distribution Service show troops inspecting the glider on the ground, where it shows some minor damage from reaching the surface. It’s the latest entry in the Army’s expanding efforts to use drones for logistical work and evacuations. Business Insider first reported on the testing during Trojan Footprint. The military is looking at using glider drones — autonomous aerial vehicles that can reach a target with minimal to zero electronic signature — for reaching frontline troops, according to an official who spoke to Business Insider. The Trojan Footprint exercise brought together roughly 1,000 American special operations troops — including Special Forces and Navy SEALS — with another 2,000 from allied countries. According to U.S. Special Operations Command Europe, the exercise was meant to serve as a “testing ground for refining tactics, testing cutting-edge technology, and developing innovative operational concepts.” The exercise wrapped up on May 21. According to manufacturer DZYNE, the Grasshopper and its long-range variant (which has an onboard turboprop) are both meant to accurately deliver a payload using a cheap and expendable frame and can each carry

Volvo Cars reached an agreement with the Trump administration that exempts the automaker from a U.S. crackdown on Chinese-connected vehicle technology. The Swedish automaker, which is majority owned by China’s Geely Holding, said Tuesday that it received specific authorization from the U.S. Department of Commerce to continue importing and selling vehicles with Chinese connected car technology in the United States. Connected car tech involves the software that covers everything from syncing with phones to some automated driving features. Bloomberg was first to report the special authorization. Volvo was banned under rules finalized by the Biden administration in January 2025 that blocked vehicles equipped with software and hardware developed and maintained by Chinese companies over national security concerns. The rules kicked off with 2027 model-year vehicles equipped with software developed and maintained by Chinese companies. Another ban that prohibits the import of vehicle connected hardware begins with 2030 model-year vehicles. Volvo vehicles are primarily made in Sweden and imported to the United States, with the exception of the EX90, which is assembled at the company’s factory in South Carolina. But Volvo’s ties to China’s Geely — and its manufacturing operations in the country — meant it would be banned under the new rules. Volvo said the approval followed “constructive discussions” with the Commerce department and other U.S. officials regarding the company’s governance, technology, and data security. The automaker said it can now move forward with its expansion plans in the United States. The automaker announced in September 2025 plans to bring two additional vehicles — the XC60 midsize SUV and a new hybrid vehicle — into production at the South Carolina factory. In March, Volvo said it will also bring all production of the Polestar 3, an EV from its sister company Polestar, to the U.S. factory. The Polestar 3 is

- Xiaomi EV launched Xiaomi Auto World Model, becoming another automaker after Nio to embrace AI world models. - The new framework has been implemented in Xiaomi's synthetic data generation, closed-loop simulation testing, and smart cabin systems. Xiaomi EV, the electric vehicle (EV) arm of Xiaomi (HKEX: 1810), officially released Xiaomi Auto World Model, a new framework for its autonomous driving world model, on Tuesday, becoming another automaker after Nio Inc (NYSE: NIO) to adopt the technology. The move aims to accelerate the transition of AI (artificial intelligence) from virtual space to the physical world, providing a new development path for the industry's advanced assisted driving technology, Xiaomi said in a statement. Xiaomi Auto World Model deeply couples 3D reconstruction with video generation, breaking the industry's traditional technical route that has long separated reconstruction and generation. The model has achieved SOTA (state-of-the-art) results in mainstream benchmark tests such as Waymo and nuScenes, the company said. Xiaomi has already applied this new technology to three core business scenarios, including synthetic data generation, closed-loop simulation testing, and smart cabin applications. The company has delivered over 100,000 clips of high-quality synthetic data to improve the training effectiveness of perception models. The new framework consists of two mutually constraining core modules -- the reconstruction module WorldRec and the generation module WorldGen. WorldRec uses sparse 3D anchors to replace traditional dense pixels. It takes only about 10 seconds to complete the scene reconstruction of a 10-second video, significantly improving processing efficiency, Xiaomi said. WorldGen acts as an engine to fill in unobserved spatiotemporal regions. It requires only four denoising steps to generate a frame at a speed of 0.19 seconds. The system currently supports generating continuous high-quality videos of up to one minute. By tightly integrating these two modules, Xiaomi said it aims to suppress

The first structural transformation is the exponential acceleration of uncrewed underwater vehicle (UUV) adoption across military, commercial, and scientific applications—driven by the recognition among global naval forces, offshore energy operators, and scientific research institutions that autonomous underwater systems have achieved sufficient technological maturity and cost economics to justify rapid capital deployment and integration into existing operational infrastructure. The second structural transformation is the emergence of specialized subsea power systems (advanced battery technologies capable of operating under extreme pressure, temperature, and operational duration requirements) as the critical bottleneck limiting the scaling and operational endurance of next-generation autonomous underwater platforms—creating a market dynamic where the suppliers of high-energy-density, pressure-tolerant power systems occupy the strategic position of enabling the broader autonomous underwater vehicle ecosystem. The third structural transformation is the consolidation of the historically fragmented subsea technology supply base—where dozens of specialized providers, each focused on narrow product categories (navigation, positioning, imaging, communication, propulsion), have operated independently—toward integrated platforms where customers increasingly demand end-to-end solutions combining multiple subsea technologies rather than assembling point solutions from disparate suppliers. Kraken Robotics' position at the center of these three structural transformations is the result of a deliberate

Ransomware Attacks on Automotive and Smart Mobility More Than Doubled in 2025, According to New Research by Upstream Security Upstream's report finds that the rapid adoption of Physical AI, with autonomous vehicles among the first production-ready systems in real-world operation, is expanding attack surfaces and accelerating attacker capabilities, creating large-scale cyber risks with massive impact potential. SHIBUYA, Japan, May 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Upstream, the leading AI-powered cybersecurity detection and response platform (XDR) purpose-built for connected vehicles, physical AI, and smart mobility, released today its 2026 Global Automotive and Smart Mobility Cybersecurity Report. Now in its eighth year, the report reveals a material escalation in cybersecurity risks across Automotive and Smart Mobility. This is driven by the rapid expansion of APIs and AI-driven architectures, alongside the increased sophistication of organized threat actors. Together, these forces are widening the gap between adversary capability and the industry's current cybersecurity posture, with ransomware continuing to emerge as one of the fastest-growing and most disruptive attack types in 2025. Analyzing 494 publicly reported cybersecurity incidents from 2025 within the Automotive and Smart Mobility ecosystem worldwide, the report recognizes two converging trends reshaping automotive cybersecurity. AI as a Double-Edged Sword AI architectures have dramatically expanded the attack surface, introducing new entry points and systematic exposures across the entire ecosystem. "The automotive industry is an early adopter of Physical AI, and as AI capabilities rapidly expand across markets, it now serves as the reference architecture for safety-critical, highly connected systems," said Yoav Levy, Co-Founder and CEO of Upstream. "However, AI is also enabling attackers to move faster, at greater scale, and with more automation while the industry is still relying on security models built for a far more static world. Our 2026 report shows that AI significantly expands the cybersecurity attack surface, as traditional perimeter defenses

Britain’s navy prepares to clear mines in the Strait of Hormuz while waiting for a peace deal ABOARD THE RFA LYME BAY (AP) — Aboard the RFA Lyme Bay docked off the coast of Gibraltar, hundreds of British sailors are waiting to be deployed for a mine-clearing mission to the Strait of Hormuz that is still in doubt. U.S. President Donald Trump has lashed out at allies for not doing more to support the United States' war effort in Iran, whose chokehold on the strait has crippled international shipping and sent energy prices soaring. In March, Trump told NATO allies to “go get your own oil” and secure the strait themselves. On the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, the U.K.’s Royal Navy is preparing to do that — but only once a peace agreement is reached. Trump said Saturday that a deal with Iran has been “largely negotiated” after calls with Israel and other allies in the region, but it still needs finalizing. Britain’s Armed Forces Minister Al Carns took a small group of reporters to visit the RFA Lyme Bay as it prepares for a possible international operation, led by the U.K. and France, to secure the strait. As Carns spoke, the amphibious landing vessel, docked at the gateway to the Mediterranean, was being loaded with ammunition and mine-hunting sea drones equipped with sonar. With a crew of several hundred sailors, the RFA Lyme Bay will soon depart Gibraltar to link up with the U.K. destroyer HMS Dragon and allied ships for air support before sailing through the Suez Canal to the Persian Gulf. “Which other country can pull together 40 nations and come up with a solution to deal with a complex problem that we couldn’t predict because we weren’t
