With around four billion cars expected to be on the road by 2050, congestion and pollution are only going to get worse. A group of aeronautical engineers in France don’t like the sound of this, so they have come up with a very clever solution to the problem. Say bonjour, then, to the Bubble Taxi, a revolutionary water-based car that runs on a 2x10-watt battery that’s recharged by the sun, wind and water while the vessel is docked. The Bubble also uses the same hydrofoil technology found in the speed record-smashing Hydroptère trimaran to elevate itself above the waves once it reaches seven knots. The result is a zero-noise, zero-waves ride that promises to get you to work quicker, and with minimal motion sickness. You won’t even have to make…

HONOR MAGIC 2 ₹TBA, hihonor.com It’s about time we saw these nearly all-screen phones take a step forward into being actually all screen. The Honor Magic 2 (currently only planned for release in China, but we hold out hope) features a 6.39-inch 1080x2340 OLED screen that totally covers the front. There’s a forward-facing camera, but it’s hidden in a section of the phone’s rear that you have to physically slide up to pop it out, then slide back down when you’re done. Honor uses the extra space this provides to make it a triple-lens front camera, matching the triple-lens rear cam, so you get amazing shots in both directions. An in-screen fingerprint sensor handles security, and it’s all powered by the AI-focused Kirin 980 chip. This is the future. T3…

A thing of beauty: Industrial Design As McLaren was the first to embrace carbon fiber, it was only appropriate to use the pattern for the back cover. At the bottom is the McLaren Badge that reacts dynamically to different lighting and angles. To complete the look, sleek lines filled with McLaren’s signature Papaya Orange colour surround the device tastefully fading away as we go up. Fast and the furious: Warp Charge 30 Upping the ante is Warp Charge 30 that can power up 50% of the battery in a span of just 20 minutes. 30 watts of electricity flows into the device constantly without any sign of slow down or excessive heat generation. Integrated circuits present in the charger and phone combined with highly efficient power management software make this…

The intelligent SUV comes with an 8-inch infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto that brings in Siri and Google Assistant for hands-free driving. It is also equipped with an Around View 360° camera that gives a complete view around the car, making parking in tight spaces a cinch. However, the most intriguing tech feature is the app support. Nissan Connect will be available for free to Kicks users for the first three years that relays data like the parked location of the car, engine, battery low indicator, geofencing and more.
