As arguably the most unimprovable video game of all time, it's unsurprising that Tetris has been playable on nearly any console you can name. And if you drive a 2027 Volkswagen, you can add your car to that extensive list. The iconic puzzler is one of 20 games that feature in Volkswagen's AirConsole in-vehicle entertainment offering, with Pac-Man Championship Edition and Uno Car Party also named in the press release. Developed by N-Dream, the platform is baked into the infotainment system on 2027 Atlas, Atlas Cross Sport, Tiguan, Golf GTI, Golf R and ID vehicles. Once you've booted up the game you want to play on the display, you use your phone as a wireless controller, but it isn't clear how many devices will be supported at launch.

He's an assistant professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, and has spent more than a decade researching AI-driven interactions between humans and robots. But he found himself typing " public transport " into the search bar of a very specific website's "amateur section." "People are hard to predict," Bazilinskyy says. It's why he researches what he does. So his prurient pursuit had a point.

Waymo has announced that it's coming to Singapore, thereby expanding its presence in Asia and in regions outside of the US as a whole. Over the coming months, its first Jaguar I-PACE vehicles will be arriving on the island nation as the company prepares for future operations. Throughout 2027, Waymo's specialists will manually drive its vehicles on Singapore's streets to map them, and the company will make changes to its system to account for the country's road geometry and weather patterns. Waymo expects to start offering rides to the Singaporean public in 2028 through its own app. The company started testing its driverless cars in Tokyo in 2025, making the sprawling Japanese metropolis its first international location.

Lucid is making a push into the European robotaxi market and it's teaming up with Bolt to do so. Bolt plans to deploy at least 25,000 autonomous vehicles based on Lucid's midsize platform across the continent. The ridesharing company plans to have 100,000 AVs on its platform by 2035, but it hasn't revealed when these particular robotaxis are likely to go into service. Bolt, which plans to own and operate the Lucid fleet, will work with the automaker to develop the vehicle. The robotaxi will likely use NVIDIA's Hyperion autonomous vehicle architecture and it's being designed for Level 4 automation (in other words, the companies plan for it to run autonomously within defined boundaries).

Balaclava boys on electric bikes: How to tackle the problem? From the Pentland Hills near Edinburgh to the streets of the country's biggest cities, a common menace is causing irritation, alarm and in some cases even death. The sight of young men, their identities hidden by black balaclavas, tearing around on electric bikes or scooters is becoming a familiar one. The picture above was taken by a man who posted on social media about morons on electric bikes scaring a nearby horse, external as they rode illegally on public footpaths. Aside from being showered with gravel churned up by the gobby miscreants, no one came to harm that day, but others have not been so lucky.

A hacker collective pulled down a Flock camera and dumped its data. The files included thousands of videos and logs showing that the device captured 1.6 million images of 50,000 vehicles in 21 days. Hackers ripped down a Flock camera above a roadway, made a near-complete copy of the data stored inside it, and shared the files with 404 Media and WIRED, revealing in new detail how exactly Flock Safety's cameras track the movements of both vehicles and people . The hackers say they are also publishing details on how they managed to obtain the software, in the hopes that other people may copy them. The breach provides an unprecedented look inside a system that Flock has described as protected by on-device encryption .
