That’s how Land Rover describes the recently-released upgrade for third‑generation Range Rovers produced between 2010‑2012 that lets them access Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. However, the upgrade is only available to people in the UK and Germany, according to 9to5Mac.
The state’s Department of Motor Vehicles proposed updating its autonomous vehicle regulations to include testing heavy-duty trucks. California currently allows light-duty autonomous vehicles, but not ones weighing over 10,001 pounds. Labor groups have tried passing legislation requiring human safety operators in autonomous trucks, but California Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed the bill twice.
Is the market ready for a four-wheeled digital detox?
The Tesla CEO has long promised driverless cars that can go anywhere. But now he’s acknowledging that there will be “parameters.”
The automaker started by offering nickel cobalt manganese (NCM) batteries in its electric vehicles, and later added lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries in 2023. “LMR is the answer to ‘what next?’” writes Charles Poon, Ford’s Global Director for Electrified Propulsion Engineering. LMR stands for “Lithium Manganese Rich,” which Poon says is safer, denser, and more cost-effective than other chemistries. And they’re coming close to fruition.
This isn’t just a lab experiment. We’re actively working to scale LMR cell chemistry and integrate them into our future vehicle lineup within this decade. The team is already producing our second-gen LMR cells at our pilot line.
