In the past year, Elon Musk and Tesla have fascinated the world with new innovations like the Tesla Cybertruck. There is excitement about most new Tesla products, but one hugely important one has been largely overlooked. With far less fanfare and no stage performance by Musk, Tesla started offering car insurance last September.
Tech is supposed to make our lives comfier, right? So picture this — what if you didn’t even need to…
Lexus and Toyota’s European Advanced Design Studio came up with a few ideas of how humanity might get around on the lunar surface, resulting in several concepts that look ripped straight from Star Wars, Mass Effect, and even Jurassic World.
The prevailing belief is that a system of self-driving cars will solve several environmental and social problems without us needing to worry about messy stuff like politics, activism or changing our travel habits.

With a collective gasp and puzzled looks, the world was recently introduced to Tesla’s newest vehicle. The so-called Cybertruck is an angular, stainless steel, all-electric pickup truck that quickly became polarizing.
Videos showing autonomous or self-driving vehicles weaving in and out of crossroads at speed without colliding suggest this technology will solve traffic problems. You almost never see pedestrians or cyclists in these videos. The reality is that they don’t fit.
Yeah, we’ve got Uber and Bolt, but Africa has been slow in adopting electric scooters (or simply e-scooters). Well, the micromobility operator, Lime, will launch e-scooters in the city of Cape Town early next year.

Step aside, Tron and Akira bikes, because Blackstone Tek (BST), a South African carbon fibre wheel manufacturer has developed the most sci-fi electric motorbike ever.
