Tesla is reinventing its wheels. Its steering wheels, that is. The automaker's updated Model S and Model X unveiled on Wednesday feature all-new interior designs with rectangular steering wheels that look more like airplane yokes than what's typically found in a road car. They are also similar to what some racing cars use, not to mention the ultimate self-driving car: K.I.T.T. from the "Knight Rider" TV show. Tesla had previously incorporated into the design of its Cybertruck and Roadster prototypes.

Google turned out three new phones this past year, and we were particularly fond of the $459 Pixel 4a 5G. It has nearly all the same features as the budget-friendly Pixel 4a, but packs in a bigger screen, a second wide-angle camera and a 5G radio, making it more future-proof than its predecessor. It doesn't offer wireless charging or water resistance like the $700 Pixel 5, but then again, it costs $200 less. Here, we've recommended the best and most useful accessories for what's sure to be one of the most popular phones of the year. One of the first accessories you'll want to get for your Pixel 4a 5G (or any smartphone, really) is a case to prevent it from getting too damaged from the occasional drop.

Civil rights activists have successfully pushed for bans on police use of facial recognition in cities like Oakland, San Francisco, and Somerville, Massachusetts. Now, a coalition led by Amnesty International is setting its sights on the nation's biggest city--New York--as part of a drive for a global moratorium on government use of the technology. Amnesty's #BantheScan campaign is backed by Legal Aid, the New York Civil Liberties Union, and AI For the People among other groups. After New York, the group plans to target New Delhi and Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia. "New York is the biggest city in the country," says Michael Kleinman, director of Amnesty International's Silicon Valley Initiative.

The California Department of Motor Vehicles has granted Baidu permission to test its autonomous vehicles without a driver behind the wheel. It's had authority to test its vehicles in California since 2016, but up until now, it could only do so with a backup driver. This development means it can now conduct full driverless road tests using Lincoln MKZ and Chrysler Pacifica vehicles loaded with its self-driving technology within Sunnyvale in Santa Clara County. This makes Baidu the sixth company to secure a permit for driverless road testing in the state, joining the likes of Alphabet's Waymo, GM's Cruise and Nuro. To secure the permit, the company had to prove to the California DMV that its technology is capable of Level 4 or 5 autonomy.

It's clear how the Viking raids in Assassin's Creed Valhalla are supposed to work. Ubisoft's latest historical adventure has you playing as a brave Norse warrior rampaging across England with your fellow raiders, battling Saxon soldiers and ransacking their burning cities. That's not how I play. I discovered early on that, instead of approaching an enemy site in my longship, with all my skilled courageous troops, then engaging in open, bloody warfare, I had more success if I went ahead alone and hid in the bushes, picking the guards off one by one and quietly hiding their bodies. You can clear out a whole town without a scratch, and then your fearsome warriors can pop in at the end and help you open the treasure chests.
