    The company that bought Bollinger unveils a slick-looking new performance EV.

    Surprisingly, it’s not an electric truck, which was what Bollinger was working on before it got scooped up by Mullen Automotive. It’s a performance version of the Mullen Five, which the company first revealed in 2019. The electric crossover has a top speed of over 200mph and can hit 60mph in less than two seconds. Looks cool. Will it ever get built? Probably not. But still, pretty pictures.

    These self-driving trucks are getting smart tires.

    Gatik’s autonomous box trucks are going to be the first AVs on the road to roll on Goodyear’s ultra-intelligent data-collecting tires. Using its proprietary Sightline tech, the tires can measure their own air pressure, the amount of friction between the rubber and the road surface, the amount of tread that’s left, and the temperature of the air around the tire. This should help improve safety and efficiency, the companies claim.
