Decades of space exploration have taught us that communicating with distant spacecraft is challenging due to vast distances. While radio frequency systems have served us well, they have limitations in speed and data capacity. NASA has been exploring laser communication as a potential solution, offering faster and higher quality data transmission over long distances. TBIRD, a NASA experiment launched in 2022, aimed to test laser communication technology from low Earth orbit. Despite its small size, TBIRD successfully transmitted data to an optical ground station in California, demonstrating the potential of laser communication for future space missions. TBIRD’s success is a…

While technical limitations and legal restrictions still prevent fully driverless vehicles, advancements in this field are accelerating.

BlueCruise has undergone several iterations, each building upon the previous one. Version 1.0 allowed hands-free driving on highways, while 1.2 added…

So bias may have played a role. Then again, my case for favouring the business wasn’t built on sand. Sure, it was hard to find many people who were particularly positive…

Even CEO Carlos Tavares’s future is in doubt, with rumors circulating about his potential replacement. The brand’s iconic names, Ram and Jeep, are no longer the dominant forces they once were, while Chrysler and Dodge are struggling to stay relevant. Dodge, in particular, is caught in a bind. The Hornet, a rebadged Alfa Romeo Tonale, has failed to capture the market, and sales are disappointing. Meanwhile, the beloved Charger and Challenger have…
