If you own a Mercedes-Benz or just like the brand enough to want your accessories to match, Chipolo’s latest Loop tracker is made with you in mind. The two brands have teamed up on a new premium Bluetooth tracker designed specifically for Mercedes-Benz car keys. The tracker has a black matte shell, a brushed metal key hook, and a chrome Mercedes-Benz logo on the front.

Other than using it for your car keys, you can also hook it up to your handbag, backpack, suitcase, or travel pouch, and use it like a general-purpose tracker.

It works with both Apple and Android networks

The Loop Mercedes-Benz Edition tracker supports both Apple’s Find My app and Google’s Find Hub app, so you won’t need to worry about compatibility. You can also use the tracker to find your phone by ringing it, set up out-of-range alerts, and change your ringtone.

The tracker has a Bluetooth range of 400 feet, or 120 meters, and can ring at up to 125dB. That should help when your keys are buried under clothes, left in another room, or stuck somewhere inside a bag.

How long does the battery last?

The tracker comes with an IP67 rating, so it can easily survive dusty and humid environments. It can handle immersion in up to 1 metre of fresh water for 30 minutes. It has a long battery life of 1 year, and once it runs out of juice, you can easily recharge it with a USB-C cable.

The company manufactures these trackers in Slovenia, using at least 50% post-consumer recycled plastic. The Mercedes-Benz edition Chipolo Loop is available now through Chipolo’s website for $39/€45. You can also find it through other retailers, including Amazon, where it is listed for $45/€45.

A new AI model wants self-driving cars to think before they swerve
Forget guessing games, this self-driving AI actually shows its work.
Self driving car

Self-driving cars have gotten pretty good at driving. The harder problem is teaching them to drive safely in situations nobody planned for. We have heard horror stories of self-driving cars, behaving erratically in emergency situations, often times delaying first responders from reaching the scene.

A team at Seoul National University, led by professor Jun Won Choi from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, thinks they have cracked part of that puzzle with a new AI model called SafeDrive. The research was recently selected as a highlight paper at CVPR 2026, a distinction that goes only to roughly 3% of all submissions.

Your next car’s software update could become its biggest security risk
Your next car could receive updates like your smartphone. That's also becoming a cybersecurity nightmare.
OTA technology allows manufacturers to remotely deliver software updates.

Modern cars are no longer machines that stay the same after they leave the showroom. Increasingly, they're becoming software-defined vehicles that receive new features, bug fixes, and security patches wirelessly, much like smartphones. But while over-the-air (OTA) updates have made vehicle maintenance easier and cheaper, cybersecurity experts are warning that the same technology could also become one of the automotive industry's biggest security challenges.

Researchers and policymakers are now calling for stronger oversight as connected vehicles become increasingly dependent on remote software updates. Their concern isn't just about hackers stealing personal data. It's about someone potentially interfering with the operation of a moving vehicle.
