The development and expansion of the EV charging software ecosystem is a critical component to the mainstream adoption of electric vehicles. However, the industry has become complex and fragmented, with multiple isolated solutions and inconsistent technology standards. This slows and threatens the adoption of EVs.

Who’s to blame for self-driving vehicle accidents? UK says it’s on automakers

Last year, the UK became the first country to regulate the use of autonomous vehicles at slow speeds on motorways. Specifically, this means vehicles with automated lane-keeping systems (ALKS), able to control steering and speed within a designated lane.

Investing in crypto is a risky business — particularly when you’re betting with a country’s future. It’s nonetheless a gamble that El Salvador’s president has been eager to make.

Escooters in the UK: Over-policing, media hysteria, and antiquated laws

When is a form of transport both legal and illegal simultaneously? In England, this is the reality for escooters, where their legality depends on whether riders own or hire them.  The battle between public and private escooters has meant that their low carbon footprint has been obscured mainly by police intervention and what some call over-policing. I wanted to understand the situation more. So I reached out to Dott, who... Read more

Do you need to be alone to be creative? Here’s what the experts say

Before the pandemic started, the debate between open office proponents and haters was as hot as ever, with a new day and a new ‘study’ showing favorable results for rubbing elbows with colleagues.

Why Google is in deep trouble for tracking your ‘dark patterns’

Google’s surveillance-based business model has attracted another prominent opponent. After surviving attacks from employees, human rights groups, Harvard professors, and rival firms, the company now faces a more powerful foe: a quartet of US attorneys general.
