The updated BMW i7 will be unveiled at the Beijing motor show on 22 April with a fresh look and key improvements to its electrical powertrain. The i7’s refreshed design is expected to bring it closer to the brand’s new ‘Neue Klasse’ models, the iX3 and i3, although it will be more conservative than those models in its transformation. The most significant change will be a simpler front-end design, with a squarer and more prominent grille, plus wider daytime-running lights. Its battery, meanwhile, will receive the cylindrical cells introduced with the Neue Klasse models but integrated into the same housing…
In this digital age, car engineers are continuing to find innovative ways to improve the thing that underpins all road vehicles, the chassis. To that end, ZF has been showing off its Chassis 2.0 strategy, which combines smart hardware, artificial intelligence and software to improve functionality, and at CES last month it introduced two new features. One was Active Noise Reduction and the other AI Road Sense. AI Road Sense is designed to assess the road surface ahead of the car and make rapid adjustments to the suspension settings, subtly configuring the chassis set-up to better cope with its immediate future. There…
The Artemis II crew made history as they traveled further from our planet than any other living humans. The astronauts and NASA are making the most of the trip, including by capturing some utterly stunning photos. The space agency shared some that were taken from the far side of the Moon, including the “Earthset” shown above.This is a depiction of our planet setting behind the Moon, just as the sun sets over the horizon for us on terra firma every single night. “The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as…
There are a lot of promising Star Wars video games on the horizon, from Zero Company to Fate of the Old Republic, but it’s been years since we’ve gotten solid updates on some of them. Perhaps most notable among those is Star Wars Eclipse, an action-adventure game from the Detroit: Become Human and Heavy Rain developers at Quantic Dream. Despite being announced at the Game Awards just over four years ago, we’ve gotten minimal updates and have yet to see gameplay. Unfortunately, yesterday, Insider Gaming published a report (which we spotted via Eurogamer) that we’ll be waiting for a while…
The Lexus ES will return for its eighth generation in June as a rival to the Audi A6 and BMW 5 Series starting from £59,345– but, unlike its German competition, it will be sold exclusively with EV power. In Western Europe, the ES will be offered with a 199bhp hybrid powertrain as well as two electric options. However, given the greater proportion of EV sales in the UK compared with those in Europe, that powertrain will not be offered here. Instead, the UK ES will be sold from launch with only one option: the front-driven 350e. This packs a single 221bhp motor and a 77kWh lithium…

I went into 2025 incredibly amped to review ASUS’s 2.2-pound ZenBook A14, only to be disappointed by the lackluster performance of its Snapdragon X chip. I’m still a bit heartbroken, to be honest. But now ASUS is back with a revamped A14 and a larger 16-inch ZenBook A16, both of which sport new Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme chips. The A16 is slightly heavier at 2.6 pounds and 2.9 pounds, but it still competes with LG’s Gram Pro 16. And thanks to Qualcomm’s new hardware, it’s actually speedy enough to compete with Intel and AMD ultraportables.Take everything I initially liked about…
IT infrastructure-related carbon emissions reporting is slowly becoming a global regulatory requirement. The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) have incorporated climate-related financial disclosure requirements, including obligations to inventory and report Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Individual countries – including Australia, Brazil, China, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, and the United Kingdom, as well as the European Union and the State of California (United States) – have enacted these standards into law, although some countries have delayed or minimised Scope 3 reporting. Emissions reporting is subject to strict accounting and audit requirements, with fines and reputational risk for…
