Elon Musk Proposes Idling Tesla EVS Could Create Massive 100-Million-Vehicle Strong 100 Gigawatts Distributed AI Computing Power Network
31 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Elon Musk proposed using idle Teslas as a vast distributed AI network. In a recent earnings call, he suggested that if 100 million cars each offered ~1 kW of inference compute while parked, they could collectively deliver ~100 gigawatts of distributed power - forming a massive global neural net. This vision turns Tesla's fleet into a decentralized supercomputer, blending mobility with AI infrastructure.Plugin Hybrid Sedan For Less Than The Equivalent of $10K
31 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Geely Galaxy launched the Starshine 6 plugin hybrid sedan in China as an ultra-affordable family car to compete with BYD. The vehicle, which starts at approximately $9,670, features the Leishen AI Hybrid 2.0 system and a EV-range up to 125 km, offering a combined range of up to 1,700 km and low fuel consumption.Toyota Unveils Mobi AI-Driven Electric Bubble Car For Kids
31 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Toyota revealed the Mobi at the Japan Mobility Show 2025: a compact, bubble-shaped, fully autonomous electric vehicle designed for children to ride without an adult onboard. The vehicle features cheerful styling (animated "eyes" LED lights, colourful shell), a single cushioned seat, and a sensor and AI system that steers, brakes and navigates. Designed under Toyota's "Mobility for All" project, it raises big about safety, regulation, and real-world deployment, as Toyota hasn't disclosed production timing or technical specs yet.Electric Vehicles Outperform Gasoline Cars In Lifetime Environmental Impact
31 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
A study published in PLOS Climate indicates electric vehicles (EVs) have a significantly better lifetime environmental impact compared to gasoline cars. Although manufacturing EVs initially has a higher carbon footprint due to battery production, they offset this "emissions debt" within approximately two years of use. The full report is available from the study publisher.Tesla Robotaxis Are Crashing More Than Waymo, Even With Human Safety Monitors
31 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Tesla's robotaxis, operating with human safety monitors, have reportedly been involved in more crashes than Waymo's fully autonomous vehicles, according to internal documents and crash data reviewed by Mashable. The incidents raise concerns about Tesla's approach to autonomy, which differs from Waymo's more cautious, sensor-heavy strategy. Critics argue Tesla's system may be less reliable in complex urban environments.

AI's Power Problem: The Hidden Grid Strain Behind the Digital Boom
05 Nov 2025 | 
A New York Times op-ed warns that AI and data centers are driving up electricity demand, straining grids, and raising power bills. Tech firms often obscure their energy use while consumers bear infrastructure costs. The piece calls for mandatory energy disclosures, better regulation, and more efficient AI systems. It challenges the myth of "clean tech" and urges climate policy to address digital infrastructure’s growing carbon footprint.
Sportivetta Zero1: ItalSpeedForm's Microcar for the Post-Diesel City
04 Nov 2025 | 
ItalSpeedForm Design Studio is offering its Sportivetta Zero1 microcar prototype for sale - a modular, road-tested L6 quadricycle with a diesel engine and EV-ready architecture. Designed by Italo Federico Sciacca, it targets Europe's growing urban mobility market. The package includes full design rights, a business plan, and financial projections. Ideal for EV startups or manufacturers seeking a fast entry into the €800M L6 segment by 2027. Final type approval is buyer's responsibility.
False Binaries and Fossil Frames: Why the Real Climate Challenge Isn't Just Upstream
04 Nov 2025 | 
The Eurasia Review op-ed argues that decarbonizing fuels and electricity - not regulating consumer products - is the real climate priority. But this framing creates a false binary. Demand-side policies like EV mandates and efficiency standards drive upstream change. Ignoring them weakens climate strategy. Effective solutions require systems thinking, not either-or arguments. Climate action must target both supply and demand to succeed.
Tailpipe Truthers and the Post-EV Gambit: Mazda's Contrarian Climate Play
04 Nov 2025 |
Mazda challenges EV orthodoxy by arguing that tailpipe emissions alone don't tell the full climate story. At the 2025 Japan Mobility Show, it promoted a lifecycle emissions approach, favoring plug-in hybrids, synthetic fuels, and fuel-flexible drivetrains over full electrification. Critics see this as stalling, but Mazda frames it as a long-term bet on energy diversity and grid realism. Whether it’s visionary or outdated depends on how the world decarbonizes.
Trail Theater: Toyota's Scion 01 Concept Reviewed
04 Nov 2025 | 
Toyota's Scion 01 Concept is a hybrid off-road side-by-side with bold styling and a Tacoma-derived powertrain. It features "Silent Mode" for short-range electric-only driving but lacks plug-in capability or new battery tech. Despite its aggressive design and nostalgic branding, it offers no real innovation - just a repackaged hybrid system in a concept shell. It's more marketing theater than a meaningful step forward in electric mobility.
