Airstream is testing an electric travel trailer that could go off-grid for weeks at a time, park itself into a camping spot and help propel itself down the road. The trailer, called the eStream, would be the first electric-powered camper in the U.S., according to the company. "There's nothing like it in the industry," said Bob Wheeler, CEO and president of the Jackson Center, Ohio, company. Airstream introduced the trailer at an RV show in Tampa two weeks ago. PLAY WORDLE?:This is the best starting word to use, according to a math expert The 22-foot-long trailer, in Airstream's singular "silver bullet" design, would include batteries under the floor that would propel the trailer's two wheels, significantly reducing the power required to tow the trailer.

This week, we learned the future of the car is not owning one--at least not if Uber gets its way. The ride-hailing giant came out with twin announcements: On Monday, it said it would acquire the bike-share company Jump, in a deal worth $200 million. On Wednesday, it announced a move into car-sharing and public transit ticketing, too, inking deals with the startup Getaround and the British mobile payments company Masabi. The goal: Making it much, much easier to live car-free, and maybe take a few UberX rides along the way. Meanwhile, Airstream rolled out an adorable and very practical new trailer that is, perhaps, too small to share with too many honies, and the Silicon Valley–based lidar startup Luminar shared its newest tech with transportation editor Alex Davies.
