Earlier today, Google presented a new vision for its flagship search engine, one that is uniquely tailored to the generative-AI moment. With advanced technology at its disposal, "Google will do the Googling for you," Liz Reid, the company's head of search, declared onstage at the company's annual software conference. Googling something rarely yields an immediate, definitive answer. You enter a query, confront a wall of blue links, open a zillion tabs, and wade through them to find the most relevant information. If that doesn't work, you refine the search and start again.

Hyundai has partnered with Google to make its vehicles compatible with Google Assistant. This will allow Hyundai vehicle owners to do things like ask Google to start their car, lock the doors or set the temperature car. Google Assistant will let you control some of the same things that Blue Links allows you to control via your smartphone. An example, you can ask Google Assistant about a nearby restaurant and then follow it with "Ok Google, tell Blue Link to send the address to my Santa Fe." You can also use new commands to operate the horn and lights, start charging your Hyundai plug-ins and more.

This year, before the doors of the the Los Angeles Auto Show open to the public, the show held Automobility, an automotive tech showcase. As our cars become more like two-ton devices that we drive, auto shows are having to adjust their focus to include apps, AI, connected cars, and more. Here are a few of the most innovative tech stories from LA. Hyundai offered Blue Link, an app that allowed owners to unlock and start their cars via smartphone, in 2011. The second generation of Blue Link rolled out in 2014, adding smart watches to the app's repertoire. Now the service works with Amazon's Alexa in-home AI device.

If you own a 2016 Hyundai, you won't have to -- at least if you have an Amazon Echo at home. The car-maker has baked Amazon's Alexa virtual assistant into its Blue Link connected car app. This means you can start your car, and set the temperature (among other things) from the warm embrace of your comforter using just your voice starting today. Hyundai isn't the first to think about connecting its cars to Amazon's smarthome kit. Back at CES in January, Ford announced it'd be integrating Alexa with its SYNC platform.

By Sreeraman Thiagarajan Since Steve Jobs' version of Macintosh the one that was'the computer for the rest of us', to today's iPhone7, hardware devices are the strategy and cloud is a tactic at Apple. They build beautiful, pricey hardware around which a unified, controlled garden of ecosystem runs on cloud such as iTunes, Music and App store seamlessly. Google has been the antithesis of this philosophy, for Google cloud is the strategy and devices are tactics. Their revenues rake in from the likes of cloud powered products such as Search and YouTube and the devices on which it runs are a series of tactic, of which, the nitty gritties are mostly handled by OEMs like Samsung and LG. But, that has all changed for good with the launch of hardware from the house of Google - Pixel phones and Google Home.

Nasa has announced that it has found evidence of flowing water on Mars. Scientists have long speculated that Recurring Slope Lineae -- or dark patches -- on Mars were made up of briny water but the new findings prove that those patches are caused by liquid water, which it has established by finding hydrated salts. Several hundred camped outside the London store in Covent Garden. The 6s will have new features like a vastly improved camera and a pressure-sensitive "3D Touch" display
