Lamborghini Telemetry X can monitor your driving and your stress level

If you have a fast car, the only place to let it loose is a racetrack. And because being able to buy a fast car doesn’t automatically imbue you with the driving skills to get the most out of it, you’ll probably need some coaching as well. At CES 2024, Lamborghini unveiled a high-tech take on driver coaching that uses vehicle data to improve driver’s skills. Called Telemetry X, the system is just a prototype for now, but could be applied to future Lamborghini supercars.

“In the near future, our supercars will offer not just thrills, but truly immersive driving experiences,” Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann said in a statement. “Telemetry X is a perfect preview of the connected services our customers will be able to experience in the coming years.”

Data-gathering systems are important tools for making racing drivers and their cars faster, and more simplified versions have already begun appearing in road cars. General Motors’ Performance Data Recorder can capture data traces, lap times, and even video. And Lamborghini debuted its own system in 2020 on the Huracán STO. But Telemetry X takes things further.

The Remote Garage feature uses a 5G connection to stream video and data from the car, allowing drivers to get live feedback from a coach. That means they not only don’t have to be in the car, they can be anywhere in the world. Data from the car is combined with biometric sensors that can monitor things like heart rate and stress level to look for other areas to improve beyond driving technique.

Telemetry X also includes a “digital co-pilot” voice assistant that can analyze vehicle data and biometric data to give live feedback such as pointers on where to brake or what line to take through a corner, as well as notifications on vehicle performance.

Lamborghini tested Telemetry X on the Revuelto, the automaker’s new flagship plug-in hybrid supercar, so perhaps we’ll see it become an available feature for that model in the future. Or maybe Lamborghini will use this tech to give its first EV, previewed by the Lanzador concept first shown in 2023, an added wow factor. Stay tuned.

Tesla’s fix for faulty Cybertruck pedal is simpler than you might think

Less than five months after handing over the first Cybertrucks to customers, Tesla has had to recall the electric pickup to fix an issue with the accelerator.

In a notice issued on Friday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said that the recall impacts Cybertruck vehicles manufactured from November 13, 2023, to April 4, 2024. This suggests that all -- or almost all -- of the 3,878 Cybertrucks being recalled are those that have been manufactured to date.

Ford Mustang Mach-E 2024 vs. Mach-E 2023: What’s new in Ford’s electric Mustang?

The Ford Mustang Mach-E is easily one of the best EVs for the price, offering a solid range, sleek design, and pretty good tech on the inside. In recent years, it has gotten even cheaper -- thanks in large part to a price war between it and the Tesla Model 3. And, the company just took the wraps off of the latest and greatest version of the Mach-E, labeled as the 2024 model.

The 2024 Mustang Mach-E is notably different from the 2023 iteration in some meaningful ways. So much so that we decided to take a look at the two head-to-head -- to see if it was better to pay for the 2024 model or save some cash on any remaining 2023 stock.
Design
The Mustang Mach-E looks relatively unique -- in a good way. And thankfully, Ford has largely kept the overall design the same for the 2024 model, at least when it comes to the more consumer-focused models. The car retains the slatted taillights and crossover size. It also offers a large selection of colors, including the very blue Grabber Blue Metallic, as well as Rapid Red Metallic. It's a good selection of colors, and there should be an option for most buyers.

Tesla to begin production on new, more affordable models

With competition increasing from Chinese and other automakers, Tesla boss Elon Musk revealed on Tuesday that his company is planning to begin production of new, more affordable models in “early 2025, if not late this year.” Notably, that's earlier than the previously stated date of late 2025, though whether Musk actually succeeds in meeting the earlier production time frame is another question entirely.

The news came as Tesla released its latest quarterly figures. Revenue for the electric vehicle maker came in at $21.3 billion, down from the $23.3 billion it reported for the same three-month period a year earlier and also down from the $25.2 billion reported in the previous quarter. Profit reached $1.1 billion, marking a 55% fall compared to the same period a year ago.
