Chery’s premium arm just dropped a sedan that makes you wonder why American EVs cost twice as much for half the tech. Exeed’s 2027 Exlantix ES ships with a driver-assist system called Falcon 700. It is built around an Nvidia Orin-Y chip and a genuinely stacked sensor suite. So what makes Falcon 700 worth paying attention to? I’m talking about 11 cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars, one LiDAR unit, and three millimeter-wave radars. All of these work together to enable full Navigate on Autopilot for both city streets and highways. Pair that with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P cockpit chip running Chery’s…

Self-driving cars have gotten pretty good at driving. The harder problem is teaching them to drive safely in situations nobody planned for. We have heard horror stories of self-driving cars, behaving erratically in emergency situations, often times delaying first responders from reaching the scene. A team at Seoul National University, led by professor Jun Won Choi from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, thinks they have cracked part of that puzzle with a new AI model called SafeDrive. The research was recently selected as a highlight paper at CVPR 2026, a distinction that goes only to roughly 3% of all…

What can you hear inside The museum is essentially a soundboard for obsolete tech. Click an image and the corresponding relic wakes up again. The collection jumps from the electronic tantrum of a 56K modem to…
Tax is rarely a subject people want to think about in their spare time. For many people in Leeds, it is something dealt with when a return is due, a payment needs to be made or an accountant requests information. The rest of the year is spent focusing on work, family and the practical demands of everyday life. That approach is understandable. However, modern financial lives are becoming more complicated. A person may have employment income, a side business and rental income. A company director may receive salary and dividends. A landlord may own property jointly with a partner. A…
