Cars have always been providing the kind of convenience that we hoped for. Cars have been made more affordable in the recent decades and mass-produced. The latest futuristic flying car concepts and […]

EasyMile’s EZ10 self-driving shuttle buses have already been trialled in Singapore, California, Switzerland, and Finland. Now, one has also entered use in what is being called regional Australia’s first automated vehicle trial. The EZ10 is being utilized in the government of New South Wales’ BusBot program, which is taking place in that state’s city of Coffs Harbour. That program began […]

Development engineers at Daimler Trucks are hitting the road with a mobile vehicle simulator that will offer truck drivers a sneak peak at upcoming technologies. The team will drive the specially kitted out Mercedes V-Class to motorway rest stops along major traffic routes around Stuttgart, Germany, gauging driver opinions about systems Daimler is currently working on.

Over the years, we’ve seen a number of solutions aimed at automatically parking the car so that drivers don’t have to, including fully automated facilities that move vehicles on platforms, parking robots and even auto-parking features in some modern cars.

If you’re much of a world traveller, then you’ve probably experienced it – a several-hour airport layover during which you’d like to get some sleep, but without going off to a hotel. That’s where the Trollaby is intended to come in, as it serves as a sort of bag-connected airport-floor tent. Invented by Austrian entrepreneur Marc Brugger, the Trollaby takes […]

We’ve seen a number of folding electric trikes over the years, including 2005’s Rider, the adaptable Scuddy, the teeny Trikelet and the suitcase-sized eFoldi. That last one has just had a design refresh that sees it lose weight, gain speed and get a welcome range increase. The original eFoldi was the work of father and daughter Jianmin and Sumi Wang, […]

We’ve seen many camper vans with slide-out kitchens. We’ve seen a few camper vans with slide-out expander modules. There’s been a slide-out beer keg or two and even a couple slide-out … well, campers. But we’ve never before seen a camper van with slide-out foosball table (or billiards or air hockey table, for that matter). That all changes with the […]

We’ve been seeing a lot of foldable electric scooters, designed for use as “last-mile” transport between users’ homes/workplaces and public transit stations. Their little wheels, however, are no match for Oslo’s cobbled streets. That’s why a group of Norwegian entrepreneurs created the CityRabbit. The three-wheeled standup vehicle has a 12-inch front wheel (larger than those of a typical scooter) which […]
