This article is part of KrASIA's partnership with Web Summit. The last 12 months have seen decisive change in the way we spend our free time. Mobility solutions are becoming increasingly popular, with driverless vehicles popping up across the world, while our urban spaces are evolving into smart city projects. Web Summit's lifestyle content covers it all. What CNN calls "Europe's largest tech event" gathers experts from the industries that play vital roles in our lifestyles.

What's it worth to save the world? That's the question Elon Musk seems to answer for himself every day, as he builds his "sustainable transportation" company, Tesla. And according to our long read, well, most things are worth it. Writer Charles Duhigg will take you through the high-stress production of the Model 3 and a wild few years for Musk. Also published on WIRED this week: The self-driving sector seems to get serious about safety, an electric motorcycle pins one of our writers to the ground (he's fine!), we get inside a self-driving truck, and we take a a peek inside Aston Martin's $3 million Valkyrie hypercar and its V-12 engine.

Their technical forebears are, obviously, helicopters. But helicopters are "too noisy, inefficient, polluting and expensive for mass-scale use," says the white paper for UberAir, the company's aeromobile arm. "VTOL aircraft will make use of electric propulsion so they have zero operational emissions and will likely be quiet enough to operate in cities without disturbing the neighbors."

Inventor Sir James Dyson is set to reveal plans to build electric cars in Britain today, it is understood. His hi-tech firm, famed for its vortex vacuum cleaner, hand-dryers and bladeless fans, has been recruiting talent from the car and technology industry. Today it is thought Dyson will unveil the early stages of an electric vehicle which could be built at its headquarters in Malmesbury, Wiltshire. Expectations about what Dyson was developing mounted after mainstream car makers accelerated their plans for electric vehicles. Mini revealed its own all-electric vehicle ahead of this month's Frankfurt Motor Show.

Britain's manufacturing sector has just posted its strongest growth in over two years. Latest figures show that export orders have increased at their fastest rate since January 2014 and factories have also taken on more workers, with employment rising for the second consecutive month. However, the export benefits of a weakened pound will not last forever, and so, as the manufacturing sector continues to evolve, this year's FT Future of Manufacturing Summit looked at how big data analytics, advanced robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT) and additive manufacturing are shaping the economics of production and distribution within the sector. With the opportunities big data brings referred to as the Fourth Industrial Revolution in manufacturing, the estimated £57bn boost to the industry over the next five years will be driven by gains in efficiency through the use of big data analytics. The winners will be those who can adapt, embrace technologies and respond to new demands.

It is the luxury speedboat with a pricetag that could leave you shaken, but not stirred. Luxury car maker Aston Martin, the supplier of James Bond's cars, has revealed its first foray onto water at the Monaco Yacht Show - and it will cost 1.7m ( 1.3m). The new day-cruiser is offered in two versions with the AM37S expected to reach speeds of 50 knots. Luxury car maker Aston Martin, the supplier of James Bond's cars, has revealed its first foray onto water at the Monaco Yacht Show. The AM37 S represents the ultimate sports driving experience on the water to enjoy in every occasion, from a runabout to a superior commuter.

Google may have the most self-driving cars on the road and Ford might be testing its driverless vehicles in the most extreme conditions, but Jia Yueting certainly has the most autonomous auto brands under his belt. The Chinese Internet billionaire owns self-driving EV startup Faraday Future, has a big investment in its stealthy rival Atieva, and has partnered with Aston Martin to build a third EV. Now, Jia just revealed yet another self-driving car, under the LeEco brand. At a glitzy event in Beijing, Jia and Ding Lei, the man in charge of LeEco's car business, demonstrated a self-driving concept car called the LeSEE. LeEco (previously LeTV) is Jia's first firm; it was once known as the Netflix of China, but is now diversifying into smartphones, televisions, and original video content. During presentations that veered from enthusiastic to accusatory to emotional (Ding at one point said, "We have gone through the process of being laughed at, to being judged, to being trusted by people"), they managed to make some concrete claims.

It is the luxury speedboat that could leave you shaken, but not stirred. Luxury car maker Aston Martin, the supplier of James Bond's cars, has revealed the design for its first foray onto water. The firm hopes to produce a series of powerboats, which is boasts will be as luxurious and hi-tech as its cars. The AM37 yacht will enter production later this year, and will be launched in Monaco. There will be two captains chairs and a wrap-around bench set to accommodate 8 of your friends to take along for the journey.
