NHTSA’s new framework, AV STEP, promises to ease the rollout of fully autonomous vehicles, but there’s a catch—automakers must share more data than ever. While the industry celebrates, safety advocates are raising red flags, and political uncertainties loom large. Will these new rules revolutionize transportation or hit a roadblock? Explore what these changes mean for the future of autonomous vehicles.

Rolls-Royce classics are stepping into the future with electrifying transformations by Evice.

Modern features like Apple CarPlay and active suspension ensure these icons retain their elegance while embracing sustainability. Curious about how vintage charm meets electric innovation?
