Hyundai Motor Group is preparing to announce a multitrillion-won investment plan in reclaimed land in North Jeolla Province to foster growth in areas of artificial intelligence (AI), hydrogen and robotics, industry sources said Monday. According to the sources, the group is expected to soon sign a memorandum of understanding with the industry and climate ministries, as well as the North Jeolla provincial government, on investing several trillions of won in the Saemangeum reclaimed land in Gunsan, North Jeolla Province . The area was created under a state project aimed at developing a total of 409 square kilometers of reclaimed land by 2050, equivalent to around two-thirds of the capital city of Seoul. Details are still under discussion, but AI, hydrogen and robotics, key areas of Hyundai's future growth strategy, are being considered as areas of investment, according to the informed sources. The reported plan is part of Hyundai Motor's previously announced domestic spending initiative.

Musk confirmed that the $60,000 Cybertruck will only be around for 10 days. What happens after that? It depends on demand, he says.

Nissan was supposed to launch an even cheaper version of its affordable Leaf EV for the 2026 model year. That isn't happening.

The issue isn’t that EV batteries automatically “go bad” with age, but that it's hard to spot the outliers.

Since the 2025 ruling, Tesla has settled at least four additional Autopilot crash lawsuits rather than run the risk of going to trial.

The company claims to have the world's first production solid-state EV battery. Doubt persists, but an independent test is coming soon.

A federal judge has rejected Tesla’s bid to overturn a $243 million jury verdict over a fatal 2019 Autopilot crash in Florida, dealing a significant blow to the automaker’s legal strategy as it faces a growing wave of lawsuits tied to its driver-assistance technology. U.S. District Judge Beth Bloom in Miami ruled that the evidence at trial “more than supported” the verdict and that Tesla raised no new arguments to justify setting it aside. The ruling, made public on Friday, means Tesla’s last hope to avoid paying the massive judgment at the trial court level has been exhausted. more…

Oxford researchers have found a way to visualize one of the most hidden — yet critical — components inside lithium-ion batteries. By tagging polymer binders with traceable markers, they revealed how these tiny materials are distributed at the nanoscale and how that affects charging speed and durability. Small manufacturing adjustments reduced internal resistance by up to 40%, potentially unlocking fastcer charging. The technique could help improve both today’s batteries and next-generation designs.

arXiv:2602.17574v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Embedded optimization-based planning for hybrid systems is challenging due to the use of mixed-integer programming, which is computationally intensive and often sensitive to the specific numerical formulation. To address that challenge, this article proposes a framework for motion planning of hybrid systems that pairs hybrid zonotopes - an advanced set representation - with a new alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) mixed-integer programming heuristic. A general treatment of piecewise affine (PWA) system reachability analysis using hybrid zonotopes is presented and extended to formulate optimal planning problems. Sets produced using the proposed identities have lower memory complexity and tighter convex relaxations than equivalent sets produced from preexisting techniques. The proposed ADMM heuristic makes efficient use of the hybrid zonotope structure. For planning problems formulated as hybrid zonotopes, the proposed
