Uber Shuttle service JFK to NYC — Uber

If you’re travelling to New York, there’s some good news for you today in that Uber has expanded its airport shuttle service to include John F. Kennedy.

The company already offers the service at La Guardia, after it launched it last year, but the addition of JFK airport will no doubt please many who travel in and out of New York via JFK, given how expensive an individual Uber or Lyft can cost.

Until the end of April, the Uber airport shuttle service between JFK and New York City will cost just $10 too, with the fare increasing to $25 including taxes from April 30th.

Where will Uber’s airport shuttle service drop off and pick up for JFK airport?

There will be specific stops in Manhattan and Brooklyn to and from JFK, and you will be able to use the Uber app to book up to four seats in a shuttle. Be sure to not over pack though as you can only have one personal item and one piece of carry-on or checked luggage weighing up to 50 pounds on board the shuttle.

A shuttle ride can be booked up to seven days in advance, though if you’re not that organised, you can do it on the day too, and you’ll get pricing upfront when you book so there won’t be any surge pricing surprises.

When you book, you’ll be given a QR code and a unique PIN, which you will need to give to the shuttle driver to confirm your reservation and get on board.

Four Uber shuttle routes will operate between Port Authority, Grand Central Terminal, Chinatown, and Brooklyn’s Atlantic Center, to and from JFK airport. They will run every 30 minutes from 5AM to 10:45PM, and they will run all week too so it doesn’t matter if it’s a Sunday, you’ll still be able to get to the airport with this service.

As with normal Uber trips, you will be able to rate and tip your shuttle bus driver. The Verge said Uber is currently also in talks with Boston’s Logan International Airport to bring the shuttle service there too so watch this space.

You can now lease a Hyundai EV on Amazon—and snag that $7,500 tax credit

Amazon has changed how we shop for just about everything—from books to furniture to groceries. Now, it’s transforming the way we lease cars. Through Amazon Autos, you can now lease a brand-new Hyundai entirely online—and even better, you’ll qualify for the full $7,500 federal tax credit if you choose an electric model like the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, or Kona EV.
Here’s why that matters: As of January 2025, Hyundai’s EVs no longer qualify for the tax credit if you buy them outright, due to strict federal rules about battery sourcing and final assembly. But when you lease, the vehicle is technically owned by the leasing company (Hyundai Capital), which allows it to be classified as a “commercial vehicle” under U.S. tax law—making it eligible for the credit. That savings is typically passed on to you in the form of lower lease payments.
With Amazon’s new setup, you can browse Hyundai’s EV inventory, secure financing, trade in your current vehicle, and schedule a pickup—all without leaving the Amazon ecosystem.
It’s available in 68 markets across the U.S., and pricing is fully transparent—no hidden fees or haggling. While Hyundai is so far the only automaker fully participating, more are expected to join over time.
Pioneered by the likes of Tesla, purchasing or leasing vehicles online has been a growing trend since the Covid pandemic.
A 2024 study by iVendi found that 74% of car buyers expect to use some form of online process for their next purchase. In fact, 75% said online buying met or exceeded expectations, with convenience and access to information cited as top reasons. The 2024 EY Mobility Consumer Index echoed this trend, reporting that 25% of consumers now plan to buy their next vehicle online—up from 18% in 2021. Even among those who still prefer to finalize the purchase at a dealership, 87% use online tools for research beforehand.
Meanwhile, Deloitte’s 2025 Global Automotive Consumer Study reveals that while 86% of U.S. consumers still want to test-drive a vehicle in person, digital tools are now a critical part of the buying journey.
Bottom line? Amazon is making it easier than ever to lease an EV and claim that tax credit—without the dealership hassle. If you're ready to plug in, it might be time to add to cart.

Google appears to be getting ready to sends its Gemini AI into cars through an Android Automotive update.

This would make sense as Android Automotive already uses Google's Assistant to help with those much-needed in-car hands-free requests.

Watch from the passenger seat as the new Porsche 911 GT3 sets a record at the Nürburgring

If you've ever wanted to race at top speeds around one of the most iconic racetracks in the world, then now is your chance. A new Porsche 911 GT3 just set a record for the fastest time around the Nürburgring in a road car with a manual transmission, knocking almost 10 seconds off the previous best time. And Porsche has released a video of the run filmed from the cockpit, so you can experience the thrills for yourself.

The record was set by legendary driver and Porsche brand ambassador Jörg Bergmeister at the wheel of a 911 GT3 with the Weissach package, setting a time of 6:56.294. That's 9.5 seconds ahead of the previous record set by the Dodge Viper ACR in 2017 -- though there's some math involved in these time calculations as the track was reconfigured in 2019.
