Ferrari's New Jony Ive-Designed EV Is Swathed in Glass and Aluminum We got a peek at the interior of Ferrari's new Luce electric car, which was dreamed up by famed ex-Apple designer and his firm, LoveFrom. It looks and feels a whole lot like an Apple product. Despite Ferrari dramatically scaling back its EV plans at the end of 2025, it's no exaggeration to say that the reveal of the Italian automaker's first full electric car is going to be automotive event of 2026. While the exterior is still under wraps, Ferrari has unveiled the interior of its upcoming electric vehicle designed by LoveFrom, the creative firm of Apple's former chief designer, Jony Ive. It may not turn out quite like the Project Titan car Apple worked on for a decade then killed in 2024, but it sure does look like it has similar DNA. "We are entering a new era in Ferrari," the company's CEO Benedetto Vigna said at the unveiling, which took place last week at San Francisco's pyramid-shaped Transamerica building.

Last year Samsung embraced artificial intelligence with its suite of Galaxy AI features. And while the new S25 Ultra is a bit faster, a little curvier and has a slightly bigger display than before, it's clear the company's primary focus was upgrading the software and machine learning capabilities of its top-spec flagship phone. Similar to its predecessor, the Galaxy S25 Ultra features a titanium frame. However, for 2025, Samsung wanted to buck tradition by making the phone a bit less boxy. So instead of a totally angular chassis, Samsung rounded off its corners. This gives the Ultra a bit more of a familial resemblance to its less expensive siblings (both the S25 and S25).

COLD BENDING: Innolux plans to boost contribution from vehicle displays to 50 percent of overall revenue from 12 percent in the second quarter of this year Innolux Corp (群創) is deepening its partnership with the US-based Corning Inc in the production of cockpit displays through a subsidiary, as it pushes ahead with transformation efforts to fuel growth. Singapore-based CarUX Technology Pte Ltd (群豐駿科技), a vehicle display maker fully owned by Innolux, would incorporate Corning's cold-bending technology into its large curved vehicle displays, Innolux said in a statement yesterday. CarUX and Corning are expanding their collaboration from automotive glass substrates to glass substrate protection solutions, as they seek to build supply chain ecosystems to generate greater industrial synergies, CarUX said in the statement.

Verizon and NEC used artificial intelligence (AI)-infused software and sensors as part of a recent proof-of-concept (PoC) trial that allowed already installed fiber infrastructure to monitor traffic and road conditions. The PoC used NEC-developed optical sensor technology with the AI software running alongside existing wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) communication channels on the same fiber lines. The mixture turned the cables into distributed optical sensors that collected information on traffic patterns, road conditions, road capacity, and vehicle classification information. The AI tools used included convolutional neural networks (CNN) and software vector machines that were able to tap into distributed intelligent traffic informatics (DITI). Those tools were plugged into a single integrated monitor that was able to detect back-scattering light traveling through the fiber optic streams to detect static strain, dynamic strain, acoustics, vibrations, and temperatures for each fiber segment.

Here are five things in technology that happened this past week and how they affect your business. Google Glass is back – but now it's called Lens. The company is making the device more feature-friendly and adding functionality that can help your business. For example, if your customers use Google Lens on an iOS or ARCore-compatible Android phone, they'll soon be able to order at your restaurant. Or your salespeople can use it to translate foreign languages on-the-go. Lens will be accessible in the Google Assistant, Google Photos, and main Google search apps as well as directly in the camera app on Pixel phones.
