The Tata Sierra.EV now comes with built-in 5G connectivity, with Tata Motors integrating Tata Communications' MOVE connected-vehicle platform into its new N.IO software-defined vehicle architecture. The useful part is not simply that the Sierra.EV has a faster mobile connection. The 5G link is designed to support functions that increasingly depend on the car staying online, including faster over-the-air software updates, real-time remote diagnostics, emergency calls, remote support and in-car content streaming. Tata also says the system can support future AI-enabled applications and additional subscription packs. That makes the Sierra.EV an early example of how Tata intends to use its N.IO platform after the car has left the showroom. Connected-car functions are already common, including remote lock and unlock, vehicle tracking and smartphone-based status checks. The Sierra.EV takes the idea further by pairing an embedded 5G connection with an architecture designed to allow more of the vehicle to be updated through software. Tata Communications' MOVE platform handles the cellular connection, while N.IO is the vehicle's software-defined architecture. For owners, one immediate benefit should be quicker over-the-air updates. Instead of visiting a workshop for every software change, compatible functions can be updated remotely. Remote diagnostics are potentially more useful. Vehicle data can help identify some faults in real time, allowing support teams to understand the problem before the car reaches a service centre. Emergency calling and remote support also benefit from a connection that is built into the vehicle rather than depending on the owner's phone. The Sierra.EV already offers iRA.ev connected-car services, with Tata listing more than 70 connected functions and Advanced 5G on the SUV. The faster connection also supports entertainment. The Sierra.EV has a 12.3-inch central touchscreen and, on higher variants, a separate 12.3-inch passenger display. Tata's Arcade.ev system supports in-car entertainment, while the new connectivity arrangement is intended

I have my own pet theory for why Volvo was approved as an automaker in the United States and Polestar, which is owned by the same company and makes some nearly identical cars, was banned. The whole situation is strange and a newly revealed letter makes it all the more curious. The Morning Dump today shall venture into the unknown. Why was Polestar banned? Why is Porsche selling its IT consultancy to Tata’s tech consultancy and then buying back AI services? Why is Ford swapping from Google to Apple for its new vehicles? Volkswagen Group is nothing but a series of question marks masquerading as a company, and one wonders how CEO Oliver Blume is going to get everyone to agree on an answer. Polestar Seems To Think It Was Going To Be Approved While there are some differences between Polestar and Volvo, they’re both Swedish brands that eventually were gobbled up by the Chinese holding company colloquially referred to as Geely. As with most car companies under the same umbrella, there’s a lot of platform and parts sharing going on between them (also, Volvo Cars has owned large parts of Polestar, variously, throughout the years). In terms of corporate structure, you can think of Volvo and Polestar less like GMC and Buick under GM, and more like Audi and Porsche under Volkswagen Group. This June, the American government decided to use a rule put in place under the Biden Administration focused on Chinese connected cars to ban Polestar from selling vehicles in the United States, including SUVs it builds in the United States. This was strange. The Volvo EX90 and Polestar 3 are essentially the same, share a similar software stack, and have a shared corporate parent, and yet one is banned and the other is not. Dealers have

7 Of The Best Bluetooth Car Adapters For Every Port Type We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Most cars these days natively support Bluetooth connections in one way or another. Most automakers began including the technology in the early 2000s, and it became standard equipment by the early 2010s, making your car maybe the ultimate cool Bluetooth gadget to use with your phone. However, it's also true that there are tens of millions of older cars still on the road as of 2026, and many of those older vehicles don't have Bluetooth. For people driving those cars, a Bluetooth car adapter can help bridge the gap to let them use their modern devices in their older vehicles. The technology for Bluetooth car adapters hasn't changed too much in the last 20 years. When I was younger, I had one such adapter for a 2007 Chevy Equinox, which I owned until 2017. While the radio was perfectly usable, I had a base trim model that didn't include an auxiliary (AUX) jack, and with phones losing their headphone jacks late in my ownership of the car anyway, a Bluetooth adapter made the most sense for enhancing my listening. Adapters have gotten a lot better since then, mostly thanks to improvements in Bluetooth technology, but they're still available for just about every type of port your car can possibly have. So if you're on a journey to make your vehicle Bluetooth-enabled, there are plenty of excellent car adapters that can help your cause. Some of those adapters will even add Android Auto or Apple CarPlay to your car if it's equipped to handle it, bringing your car up to date with modern standards. Here are some of the best Bluetooth car adapters that you may want to consider. USB

Volvo EX30 Cross Country review The EX30 is one of Volvo’s most popular electric cars, so it came as no surprise when a Cross Country variant was added. This gives you extra cladding, a ride height increase, more power and (optional) chunkier tyres. But is all this worth it for a four-figure premium? Read our Volvo EX30 Cross Country review to find out. Pros - Cool styling - Blisteringly quick - Raised ride height is useful Cons - Quite pricey (when new) - Could have more electric range - Ready for off-roading? We’re not sure Interior Our rating: 8/10 Driving position If we’re totally honest, the driving position in the EX30 Cross Country is close to perfection for this type of car. We like to sit nice and low and bring the steering wheel towards us, and this does that without breaking a sweat. A lot of electric cars force you to sit too high up, which is great if you want a wide view of the road ahead, but less so if you want to feel connected to the car. Even in the lowest position, you can see a lot around you, and the windscreen is tall, so you don’t feel cramped. The large sunroof helps with this too, making the interior feel much bigger than it is. Tech and features Volvo EX30 Cross Country trims – Plus – Ultra Unlike the basic EX30, the Cross Country sticks to the two higher trims, ditching the entry-level Core model completely. This gives you more for your money. Plus models get basically everything you’d want in a modern car, from heated seats and a powered tailgate to ambient lighting and a 12.3-inch portrait screen (with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto). Built into the screen is Google software, meaning you have

Android car systems abused by hackers to launch new malware that pulls devices into a hidden proxy network Is a botnet made out of cars called a "bot fleet"? - Kaspersky found Android malware abusing DoFun car head units via TWCore updates - Multi‑stage attack installs loaders and reverse proxy, aiming to build a botnet of connected cars - Campaign attributed to MoYu Group; DoFun patched vulnerabilities after disclosure We’ve seen botnets comprising cameras and DVRs, we’ve even seen botnets comprising smart fridges and digital frames, but we’ve never seen botnets comprising automobile infotainment systems. First time for everything. Earlier this week, security researchers Kaspersky warned about finding a brand new Android malware targeting the car’s head unit. The victim seems to be a Chinese manufacturer called DoFun. Head units from this manufacturer, built on Android, are running an app for analytics and software updates called TWCore. According to Kaspersky, the attackers abused TWCore’s update mechanisms, instructing it to download a malicious APK. This malware is then placed in the app’s cache directory and installed by the legitimate com.tw.core package. No active campaigns The researchers said this was a multi-stage attack. In the first stage, a tiny dropper with no user interface gets deployed. It decrypts embedded data, and extracts the information it needs for stage two. In the next stage, the loader contacts the attackers’ server and gets instructions about stage 3, which can be different things, from deploying additional malware, to running the “zhima” reverse proxy. Despite its multifunctional nature, Kaspersky believes that the true goal of the campaign is to assimilate the cars into a botnet. Some cars come with a SIM slot and are connected to the internet 24/7. It is probably not an exaggeration to say that cars just might be the perfect devices for

For years, the promise of an electric vehicle doubling as a home backup battery has sat just out of reach for most California drivers, available only to owners of a narrow slate of trucks and sedans built with bidirectional charging in mind. That is beginning to change. Pacific Gas and Electric Company announced today a significant expansion of its Vehicle-to-Everything program, adding new charging partners and a wider range of eligible vehicles that give residential customers more ways to turn their EVs into tools for savings, resilience, and grid support. The expansion adds Bidirectional Energy and PowerFlex as approved program partners, broadening the roster of automakers, charger manufacturers, and software providers that customers can choose from. It also brings EVs from Kia, Volvo, Polestar, and Nissan into the program for the first time, building on a list that already included vehicles from Ford, Tesla, Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac. A Technology Built on Choice PG&E’s V2X program offers financial incentives to customers who install bidirectional EV charging equipment, hardware that allows an EV battery to send power back out rather than simply drawing it in. That two-way flow means a parked car can supply backup power to a home during an outage, help a household manage its energy costs by shifting when it draws from the grid, or feed electricity back to PG&E during periods of high demand. David Almeida, PG&E’s Director of Clean Energy Transportation, framed the expansion as fundamentally about broadening access. By adding more vehicle and charger combinations to the eligible list, he said, the utility is making it easier for customers to adopt the technology while giving their EVs a second job as a grid asset. New Vehicles and Chargers Join the List The newly eligible combinations reflect a mix of established and newer EV models paired

A Korean detour? How China's auto investments may be aimed at the U.S. market. Chery and Geely investments in Korean carmakers raise concerns that local plants could become export bases for Chinese brands seeking to navigate U.S. trade barriers. KG Mobility's plant in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi.YONHAP [NEWS ANALYSIS] Chery Automobile's latest investment in KG Mobility is framed as a partnership to jointly pursue global exports. But Korea's access to the United States — where Chinese brands face punitive duties and connected-vehicle restrictions — makes the country an unusually valuable manufacturing base for a Chinese carmaker, a factor that some experts say is a driving force behind Chinese investments in Korean automakers. Chery isn't the only Chinese automaker to make such a move — Geely Automobile Holdings acquired a 34.02 percent stake in Renault Korea in 2022, becoming its largest shareholder, and has since directed the company's Busan plant to produce Polestar EVs for export to North America. Some experts warn that Chinese capital and technology are becoming further entangled with Korean automakers and Korea's auto industry risks devolving into little more than a subcontracted export base. Chery didn’t directly call its investment in KG Mobility an attempt to enter the U.S. market, but Zhang Guibing, president of Chery International, cited tariffs and pinpointed exports as the partnership's core objective. "Chery's stage is the global market, and tariff treatment diverges between China and Korea in certain regions," Yin said, adding that this is one of “KG Mobility's most consequential assets.” "Every company in the world is eyeing the U.S. market. Meeting its regulatory requirements is essential to gaining entry,” he added. KG Mobility recently inked an agreement with Chery Automobile to receive $75 million from the Anhui-based automaker in the form of convertible bonds. If Chery converts the bonds in full, it

Abstract In an autonomous driving vehicle, the onboard perception system is essential for understanding a dynamic, complex road scene in real time, which is fundamental to autonomous driving. Perception tasks, such as object detection, classification of traffic signs, lane detection, etc., have seen significant progress in autonomous vehicles. One of the major practical challenges is designing an integrated, computationally efficient system capable of supporting multiple perception tasks without compromising detection performance or increasing the hardware cost of embedded automotive platforms. The proposed work introduces an integrated module-based Unified Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) architecture. The first is a Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) subsystem using the lightweight YOLOv8n backbone for detecting and classifying regulatory, warning, and informational traffic signs under a variety of illumination and environmental conditions. The second module focuses on the Forward Collision Warning (FCW) subsystem, which is trained to detect vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, and traffic control signals in dense urban and highway situations. The third module is a novel bimodal distillation fusion module, which bundles the knowledge from both perception streams into a single student model efficient inference pipeline using the principles of knowledge distillation, compressing the knowledge of two specialist detectors into an efficient student model. The architecture has been trained and tested with domain-specific datasets that include realistic noise on the weather, illumination, and complexity. For all the major object and sign categories, significant quantitative evaluation, such as the Precision-Recall curve, the F1-confidence analysis, the confusion matrix, and the Mean Average Precision (mAP) measurement, reveals satisfactory detection performance. Achieved with the TSR module, the mAP@0.5 score is approximately 0.994, and for primary vehicle classes, the mAP@0.5 score is above 0.81 with the FCW module. In addition to the static regulatory information used in fusion, the scenario utilizes dynamic information from the environment, significantly increasing the completeness

California EV driver rages after 1 hour of charging cost more than filling up gas tank: ‘Electric car people have been lying’ See more of our coverage in your search results. Add The California Post on Google Is the pump mightier than the plug? A Rivian owner has sparked an online debate after revealing how much she paid to fast charge her electric whip. Linda, a California-based food influencer, shared that she was charging her car while she did her Costco shopping. “It’s gonna take an hour and 10 minutes to get to 100% from 27%,” she told viewers in the clip, which is captioned “How much does it cost to charge a Rivian R1S? Is it worth it?: The video cuts to Linda recording the car’s charging progress and the vehicle’s estimates that she’s gained roughly 235 miles during the charging. After loading her Costco sundries, Linda again pans to the progress screen, which shows her Rivian is now at 94% capacity and has a range of 332 miles. Another figure revealed the $62.89 price of her charging session. The total cost was slightly higher: “64.59 for an hour and one minute, and I’m at 94%,” according to Linda. Linda then films herself struggling with the station’s “bulky ass” charger, revealing yet another frustration. Commenters were aghast at the cost of her fill-up, with many noting that the price tag is similar to that of regular gas. “I just spent $50.00 for gas to get 512 miles…took less than 5 minutes to fill up,” said one viewer. “I have an EV. To everyone: it’s not worth it. Range anxiety is real, public charging costs as much as gas, range plummets during winter, I could keep going.

Polestar Still Has No Idea Why The U.S. Govt. Kicked It Out The automaker was stripped off its authorization to sell cars in the U.S. model year 2027 onward. - Polestar said the Department of Commerce has not yet explained its ban on selling cars in the U.S. - It is arguing that Volvo was granted authorization to sell an EV with an identical software stack. - The automaker has not appealed the Trump administration's decision. Polestar has yet to get an explanation from the U.S. Department of Commerce for its decision to effectively force the automaker out of the American car market. The government denied the automaker, which is owned by China’s Geely Group, authorization to sell cars in the U.S. for model year 2027 onward. Its corporate cousin, Volvo, was granted a special authorization to continue selling its cars in the U.S. In a letter sent to dealers and viewed by The Wall Street Journal (paywall), Polestar said it has yet to hear back from the Trump administration on why it must stop selling EVs in America. The automaker argued that its Polestar 3 electric SUV is mechanically identical to the Volvo EX90, and that both are assembled on the same production line at the Volvo Cars plant in Ridgeville, South Carolina. Gallery: Polestar 3 At the core of all this is the Connected Vehicle rule, which restricts vehicles linked to hardware or software from foreign adversaries such as China and Russia from being sold in the U.S. The rule was finalized by the Biden administration and argues that vehicles connected to Chinese technology, including telematics and advanced driver assistance systems, could pose a national security risk or potentially be used to spy on Americans. “In essence, we are currently focusing on getting the attention of (the Commerce

Quebec Spent 64 Pages Proving Your Car Doesn't Respect You. Detroit Already Ran the Experiment. A government ethics panel in Quebec just spent the better part of a year producing a 64-page indictment of your dashboard, and the case it built about consent, insurance, and cloud storage reads almost like a legal brief the FTC already filed against General Motors. Only this time, the target isn't one automaker's fine print. It's the entire idea that "I agree" still means anything once you're driving a computer with seats. The report comes from Quebec's Commission de l'ethique en science et en technologie, a provincial body that usually spends its time on subjects like artificial intelligence and biotechnology, not bumper-to-bumper traffic. Its president, Luc Begin, working with a committee of outside experts, spent months mapping what happens to the data a modern car generates every time it moves. They identified twelve distinct problems, and none of them are hypothetical. The Consent Model Was Built for Websites, Not 4,000-Pound Objects Start with the finding that should worry car enthusiasts more than the others: the report concludes that the classic model of individual consent is fundamentally broken for connected vehicles. That isn't a vague complaint about long terms and conditions, though the commission notes that only about seven percent of people ever read them. It's a structural problem. A privacy policy assumes the person who clicked accept is the same person using the product for its entire life. Phones mostly work that way. Cars don't. A car gets driven by a spouse who never opened the app, a teenager who borrowed the keys, a valet, a rental customer, and eventually a used-car buyer who has no idea what account is still synced to the infotainment system.

Even connected car head units are being targeted by hackers now — experts warn in-car systems are at risk of being hijacked into a botnet Android car screens are becoming hacker bait - Hackers exploited trusted software updates to deliver malware directly into car head units - Kaspersky says this is the first campaign tailored specifically for vehicle head units - The malware can run silently without showing drivers any visible interface Car head units are now being drawn into a growing wave of Android malware campaigns built for connected vehicle systems, experts have warned. A newly discovered malware campaign is infecting these head units directly, systems that combine multimedia functions with, in some models, vehicle control. According to Kaspersky, this campaign marks the first documented case of malware built specifically for this type of infection chain. Compromised update channels deliver malware straight into vehicles Researchers believe the activity can likely be traced back to the MoYu Group, a threat actor closely tied to the well-known BadBox botnet, which spread through the legitimate update mechanisms built directly into the firmware of Android-based head units manufactured by DoFun. The infection chain originates from TWCore, a legitimate system app that is normally responsible for collecting analytics and updating head unit software remotely. Attackers hijacked this trusted update channel using a specialized dropper called JarService to deliver previously unknown malware directly onto a range of affected devices. Once successfully installed, the malware operated quietly as a regular background application without ever displaying any visible user interface. Sign up to the TechRadar Pro newsletter to get all the top news, opinion, features and guidance your business needs to succeed!

Suzuki e Sky Electric Kei Car Debuts With 310 Km Range, Weighs Just 1,030 Kg - Team Autopunditz - 19 hours ago - 4 min read Suzuki has taken another major step in its electric vehicle journey with the debut of the e Sky, a compact battery-electric kei car developed primarily for the Japanese market. The production-oriented model evolves from the Vision e-Sky concept showcased earlier and is scheduled to make its Japanese market debut in autumn 2026. Suzuki’s Japanese dealer network has also begun promoting the upcoming model through a dedicated teaser campaign. The Suzuki e Sky stands out for its exceptionally compact footprint, low kerb weight and a claimed driving range of 310 km, making it an interesting new entrant in Japan’s growing electric kei-car segment. Suzuki e Sky Dimensions and Weight The new Suzuki e Sky measures: - Length: 3,395 mm - Width: 1,475 mm - Height: 1,625 mm - Wheelbase: 2,460 mm - Kerb weight: 1,030 kg - Turning radius: 4.4 metres The length, width and height closely follow the dimensions Suzuki had previously announced for the Vision e-Sky concept. Suzuki describes the model as a compact BEV designed around everyday commuting, shopping and occasional longer journeys. At just 3.4 metres long, the e Sky is considerably smaller than most conventional hatchbacks. Its tall-body design and relatively long wheelbase should nevertheless help maximise passenger space within its kei-car footprint. 310 Km Driving Range One of the biggest upgrades over the concept is the claimed driving range. The production-oriented Suzuki e Sky is said to offer a reference range of 310 km in its two-wheel-drive configuration. This represents an improvement over the Vision e-Sky concept, which had earlier been associated with a range of more than 270 km. Suzuki has not yet revealed key technical details such

Motor event offers key market outlook Chengdu show features technology, overseas growth and competition Around 120 major domestic and international automakers are showcasing about 1,600 vehicles at the Chengdu Motor Show, highlighting the latest developments in electrification and intelligent technologies. The 10-day event, which kicked off on Friday, is the first major A-level auto show in China in the second half of the year and an important indicator of the market outlook for the months ahead. "A wide range of debut models across different segments is displayed, giving visitors and consumers a clear picture of the latest industry developments and market trends," said Liu Guoliang, general manager of Hannover Milano Fairs Shanghai, one of the event's organizers. The show comes as China's auto market undergoes a profound structural shift. Passenger vehicle sales fell 24.3 percent year-on-year to 8.29 million units in the first half of 2026. While sales of traditional fuel-powered passenger vehicles dropped 31.9 percent year-on-year to 3.69 million units, new energy vehicle sales rose 7.3 percent during the same period, with their market share continuing to expand. "China's auto market is experiencing an interplay of ice and fire," Liu said, referring to the contraction of the overall market and the accelerating development of electrified smart vehicles. The changing market is also pushing automakers to compete less on price and more on technology, product value and brand differentiation. The Chengdu show provides a snapshot of the growing technological strength of Chinese automakers. BYD has brought together its Dynasty and Ocean series as well as Denza, Fangchengbao and Yangwang, showcasing fast-charging and advanced driver-assistance technologies. Chery Group is displaying 38 models from all five of its brands, while Great Wall Motor, Geely Galaxy, Hongqi, BAIC, Deepal, Voyah and other Chinese brands are expanding their new energy and intelligent vehicle portfolios.
