Tunnels are used to carry traffic through some of the most extreme terrain on the planet and they help ease journeys with reduced travel time. While most tunnels offer a short underground burst of driving, some are much longer. Here are the world’s 10 longest road tunnels that use cutting edge technology to make their construction possible and to keep drivers alert while passing through their extended subterranean length. Ryfylke Tunnel, Norway – 8.98 miles (14.46km) The Ryfylke Tunnel is the longest undersea road tunnel in the world at present and stretches some 8.98 miles between Stavanger and Ryfylke. Norway…

The Switch 2 Pro controller is the best controller Nintendo has ever made – and that’s saying something. It’s incredibly comfortable to hold, its joysticks are buttery smooth, and all of its buttons are wonderfully responsive. Nintendo even made it customizable this time with rear buttons that can easily be mapped inside of any game. The only downside? The Switch 2 Pro Controller costs $85, which seems a bit egregious when you can get an excellent controller like 8BitDo’s Ultimate 2 wireless gamepad for $60. As good as the competition is, though, you won’t find anything that can be easily…

Can Aston Villa actually beat Man City and Arsenal to the title? Only if Morgan Rogers produces the greatest individual season in Premier League history. Aston Villa have put together a run of 10 wins in a row across all competitions, putting pressure on Premier League title rivals Arsenal and City. Their form has stunned everyone after an abysmal start to the season, which saw the Villans take five league matches to score their first goal. It felt like the end of Unai Emery’s tenure was coming, but his reputation in the Premier League has never been stronger, and there’s…

It’s hard to read anything these days without coming across the term ‘artificial intelligence’ or ‘AI’, and there’s certainly plenty of noise being made about it in the automotive industry. One huge investment in AI is being made by supplier Bosch and the Volkswagen Group’s software arm, Cariad. These partners formed the Automated Driving Alliance in 2022 to develop autonomous systems at level two (hands-free driving on urban roads, highways and rural roads) and level three (total control on highways). But is AI just one thing, or are there different types of it? It’s widely known that AI can be…

The Federal Communications Commission has added foreign-made drones and their critical components to the agency’s “Covered List,” making them prohibited to import into the US. In a public notice published by the FCC, it said several national security agencies have determined that umanned aircraft systems (UAS) and their critical components produced in foreign countries pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States.“UAS and UAS critical components must be produced in the United States,” the agency said. “UAS are inherently dual-use: they are both commercial platforms and potentially military or paramilitary sensors and weapons. UAS and UAS…

Since he joined West Ham on a seven-year contract and expressed his belief that he would “continue to improve as a player”, Max Kilman has indeed set the bar for top-flight transcendence. No player has conceded more than his 91 Premier League goals in the intervening 18 months. West Ham being West Ham, teammate Kyle Walker-Peters is naturally second on 90, with Mateus Fernandes (87) rounding out a miserable podium. There is no particular shame in being hoodwinked by the quick feet of Tijani Reijnders, nutmegged by Rico Lewis or generally tormented by Erling Haaland. But after being recalled to…

Renault’s radical Filante concept has driven 626 miles in 10 hours, achieving 8mpkWh at an average speed of 63mph – “showing that this level of range is achievable in motorway-like conditions”. The Filante is a futuristic single-seat EV concept designed to set efficiency records, using the same 87kWh battery as the Renault Scenic SUV – primarily to achieve more than 620 miles at realistic motorway speeds. Last week, the Filante did just that – and even finished the 10-hour run with 11% of its battery charge remaining, which Renault says would have allowed it to travel another 75 miles at…

A top Amazon executive has said the US technology giant has blocked more than 1,800 job applications from suspected North Korean agents.North Koreans tried to apply for remote working IT jobs using stolen or fake identities, Amazon’s chief security officer Stephen Schmidt said in a LinkedIn post.”Their objective is typically straightforward: get hired, get paid, and funnel wages back to fund the regime’s weapons programs,” he said, adding that this trend is likely to be happening at scale across the industry, especially in the US.Authorities in the US and South Korea have warned about Pyongyang’s operatives carrying out online scams.Amazon…
