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.

Can Food Waste Fuel America's Skies? The Promise And Pitfalls Of Trash-To-JetA
01 Nov 2025 | 
Scientists are developing ways to turn America's massive food waste stream into sustainable aviation fuel. Using processes like hydrothermal liquefaction, discarded scraps can be converted into biocrude and refined into jet-ready fuel. At full scale, it could replace only a fraction of U.S. daily jet fuel demand, but it would cut landfill methane and diversify supply. Major hurdles remain: costly collection, dispersed feedstock, certification, and economics compared to fossil fuel.
Can Coal Power the AI Boom? Wyoming's Bet on a Fading Fuel
01 Nov 2025 | 
Wyoming's coal is being promoted as vital for powering the AI boom, but the market reality tells another story. Utilities continue retiring coal plants as cheaper wind, solar, and natural gas dominate. Lease auctions draw little interest, and even China is pairing coal with massive renewable growth. Analysts warn AI demand may be overstated, leaving coal an expensive detour. The conclusion: coal is unlikely to fuel America's AI future.
America's Untapped Power: Why Wave Energy Still Waits For Its Moment
01 Nov 2025 | 
America's waves hold vast untapped energy - enough to power over half the nation's electricity needs. Yet wave power lags behind solar and wind. Devices must survive corrosive seas and violent storms, while no single design has emerged as dominant. Developers also face years of regulatory hurdles and high costs that deter investors. New test sites like Oregon's PacWave aim to prove the technology, offering hope that wave energy can finally move from promise to reality.
Battle of the Boxes: Tokyo's Compact EV Showdown
30 Oct 2025 | 
Three boxy EVs - BYD Racco, Nissan Sakura, and Honda Super-One - dominated the 2025 Tokyo Auto Show, each embracing Japan's kei car tradition with electric innovation. BYD eyes global markets, while Sakura and Super-One remain Japan-focused. U.S. entry would require upgrades in safety, speed, and tech. Their compact charm and urban utility signal a strategic shift in EV design - away from sleek sameness and toward character-driven mobility.
Why EVs Need Psychology More Than Horsepower
30 Oct 2025 | 
Rory Sutherland argues that behavioral science is key to EV adoption. In the Everything Electric podcast with Imogen Bhogal, he explains that range anxiety is psychological, not technical, and that emotional reassurance matters more than battery size. He advocates for longer test drives, intuitive design, and incentives that reflect real human behavior. The interview challenges engineering-first thinking and urges empathy-driven policy to accelerate the EV transition.
