In recent weeks, China approved the world's first commercial brain-computer interface medical device and unveiled a five-ton class electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft that has already completed a public flight.

On average, fuel prices are up almost a dollar per gallon, or 25 percent, according to AAA. For a nation as addicted to the automotive as we are, that's bad news. Except, of course, for electric vehicles.

Ken Pillonel, a freelance hardware prototyping consultant, designed a case that adds a Lightning port to the iPhone 17 Pro, allowing users to charge with existing Lightning cables.

Lucid's Lunar is arguably the company's most ambitious concept yet, and a direct line of sight toward the autonomous ride hailing market that Tesla looks to control.

When those companies fail, the consequences ripple far beyond a bad app update and into the basic question of whether a car still functions as a car. Over the years, automotive software has expanded from performing rudimentary engine management and onboard diagnostics to powering today's interconnected, software-defined vehicles.
