After six years of development, Netherland-based EV startup, Lightyear, has officially revealed its new “Lightyear 0” sedan, the world’s first production-ready solar car. Setting the offering apart from other EVs in the market is five square meters (16.4 feet) of highly-efficient solar cells installed on the hood and roof which provide up to 43 additional miles of range every day. Lightyear claims that a driver with a short daily commute could potentially drive for up to seven months without plugging in to charge under optimal conditions. Utilizing materials such as vegan leather and palm wood for the interior trim, and reclaimed carbon, aluminum, and residual carbon fiber materials for the chassis and frame, the Lightyear is able to be both sustainable and relatively lig...

The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles is paying tribute to the history of McLaren with a new racecar exhibition. Founded in 1963 by Bruce McLaren, the McLaren Motor Racing team is the second-most successful team in Formula 1 history. The new exhibition explores this legacy by looking at rare early McLaren racecars like the Cam-Am, Formula 1, Formula 2, Formula 5000 and USAC that all feature the automaker’s signature papaya-colored paint scheme. A highlight of the exhibition is the 1967 McLaren M6A which is the first McLaren to include papaya-colored paint. Also included in the exhibition are modern McLarens like the 2018 MCL33 Formula 1 racecar and more. “McLaren is one of the most storied names in motorsports history,” said Petersen Automotive Museum Executive Di...

The company says the car was built from the ground up after a complete nuts and bolts strip-down, which allowed for a series of other mechanical upgrade1s including new fuel and brake lines, fresh body mounts, new internals for the factory truck axles, reengineered brake ca...

Hyundai Group’s 134,000-ton natural gas tanker, the Prism Courage, has set a new record as the first ultra-large ship to make an autonomous ocean passage of over 10,000 km (6,210 miles). While many modern vessels are equipped with autopilot, a truly autonomous ship must be able to make various critical decisions without a captain at the helm including how to respond to passing ships, currents, and weather while complying with maritime laws. Making its journey from Freeport, Texas to the Boryeong LNG Terminal in South Chungcheong Province, Korea, Prism Courage employed Hyundai’s HiNAS 2.0 artificial intelligence system to guide the ultra-large carrier through the Pacific Ocean towards the latter part of the 33-day journey. The results indicated an increase of 7% in fuel efficien...
