Tesla has begun operating its steering wheel- and brake pedal-free autonomous robotaxi, Cybercab, on roads in Austin, Texas, drawing attention to its vehicle design and self-driving strategy. Use conditions include a ban on riders under 13, and the timing of general sales remains unclear. Rivals are expanding service footprints, while South Korea’s mobility sector focuses on infrastructure, partnerships and data-based services alongside debate on EV battery durability and safety.

Genesis will launch its flagship electric SUV, the GV90, with 16 premium exterior colour options, including 13 gloss and 3 matte finishes. The company says each colour carries a distinct design background and applies a personalisation strategy across colour, materials and finish. The GV90 lineup includes a standard model and the GV90 Neolun with coach doors and no B-pillar. A GV90 Neolun First Edition will be limited to 222 units worldwide with three exclusive two-tone exterior and interior combinations.
