Video Shows Chinese EV BYD Parking Sideways; Internet Concerned About Tyres
The BYD Denza N9 was developed by BYD's premium sub-brand Denza in collaboration with Merce.
A video showing a BYD electric vehicle (EV) performing a sideways parking manoeuvre has surfaced on social media, leaving viewers both amazed and concerned. The 15-second clip shared by an X (formerly Twitter) user showed the car — Denza N9 — effortlessly sliding sideways into the tight parallel parking spot on a busy street in China. No reversing or adjusting.
The undated clip, seemingly, highlights what appears to be the Chinese EV manufacturing giant's advanced wheel technology. This feature allows the vehicle to perform a 'crab-walk', with all four wheels rotating and moving the car sideways in a straight line.
Many internet users were impressed with the futuristic tech, but it also sparked a flurry of humorous and sceptical responses.
A user commented that driving manual cars would become an 'outdated skill".

Another user decided to make a rhyme out of it, saying, 'Once in a while stunt. Do it every day and your tires shall go bust."
A third user had a premonition that the tyre industry already loved the parallel parking feature, while a fourth user said, 'This looks like it could go badly wrong if road traction is variable for each wheel."
BYD's Denza N9
The BYD Denza N9 was developed by BYD's premium sub-brand Denza in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz. The automobile is slated to compete with high-end EVs and features a sleek design, spacious interiors, and cutting-edge technology.
The N9 also boasts a high-capacity battery, fast charging, and smart cockpit features for modern drivers.
Its advanced parallel parking system allows the vehicle to move sideways thanks to its all-wheel steering function. The feature enables a car to slide into tight parking spots, which could reportedly dramatically improve urban parking convenience.
BYD's system uses precise automated steering, which could cause increased tyre scrubbing during tight manoeuvres. If the feature is used frequently, it can wear the tyres—especially those on the front— faster. It could also lead to uneven tread degradation.

India underlines ‘substantive agenda' to mend strained ties with US over tariffs, Russia oil
At a time when India's ties with the US are strained over tariffs and energy imports from Russia, Delhi on Thursday underlined focus on the 'substantive agenda' between the two countries — an American defence policy team in Delhi, joint military exercises in Alaska and 2+2 meeting of the defence and foreign ministry officials later this month. This is to assuage concerns that India is gravitating towards the non-western partners — External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar is headed to Moscow and Chinese Foreign minister Wang Yi is likely to come to India next week, and NSA Ajit Doval was in Moscow to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to travel to Tianjin in China for the SCO leaders' summit on August 31-September 1. Responding to questions on the future of Indo-US relations on Thursday, Ministry of External Affairs' official spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said: 'India and the United States share a comprehensive global strategic partnership anchored in shared interests, democratic values, and robust people-to-people ties.' 'This partnership has weathered several transitions and challenges,' he said, alluding to the challenges posed by US President Donald Trump's imposition of 50% tariffs on India — 25% because of high tariffs and 25% for buying Russian energy. 'We remain focused on the substantive agenda that our two countries have committed to and we hope that the relationship will continue to move forward based on mutual respect and shared interests,' he said. The MEA spokesperson said, 'The India–U.S. defence partnership, underpinned by foundational defence agreements, is an important pillar of the bilateral partnership. This robust cooperation has strengthened across all domains… We are expecting a U.S. Defence Policy Team to be in Delhi in mid-August. The 21st edition of the joint military exercise — Yudh Abhyas — is also expected to take place later this month in Alaska. Both sides remain engaged to convene the 2+2 Intersessional meeting at the working-level towards the end of the month.' It is not usual to give out such details of upcoming activities, especially in the defence and strategic sectors, in advance. This announcement is significant since it gives out the message that India is not closing its doors of engagement with Washington DC. This comes at a time when preparations are underway to schedule a visit by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the US in the last week of September. The MEA spokesperson, when asked, said that no decision has been taken yet on the PM's visit. Sources said that the ostensible reason is to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York, but a key objective will be to meet US President Donald Trump, iron out the issues on trade and arrive at a common ground on tariffs. This will also give an opportunity for the two leaders to announce a trade deal. However, for this to fructify, a lot of moving parts and a series of things have to fall in place. There has to be movement on two fronts — the Russia-Ukraine war and the Indo-US trade deal. Negotiations are underway on both fronts and Delhi is closely following the meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on August 15 to discuss a resolution to the war in Ukraine. Modi has already spoken to Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the last few days. A resolution to the conflict is in India's interest, sources said, and it has been conveyed to both leaders. On the trade deal front, Indian and American negotiators had been close to sealing a deal, but the US President was not happy about the deal that was agreed between the interlocutors. So, the negotiators have to discuss the terms of the deal further, and they have to offer new terms, as red lines have been drawn. But the two sides are focused on the new goal for bilateral trade – 'Mission 500' – aiming to more than double total bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030. Now, to schedule the visit, as a first step, the Indian side has reached out to the UN headquarters for a speaking slot for the Prime Minister at the UN General Assembly, and, as of now, that has been scheduled on September 26 morning. Trump is slated to speak on September 23. Now, if the PM's visit takes place, it will give an opportunity to speak at the UNGA and then hold a bilateral meeting with Trump and other world leaders.

Intel stock soars 7% as Trump government mulls taking stake; check details of potential deal
Intel's stock surged over 7% on Thursday (August 14), following a Bloomberg report that the Trump administration is in talks to acquire a stake in the chipmaker. This potential deal could mark a significant step in bolstering the US semiconductor manufacturing, aligning with President Donald Trump's push for domestic high-tech production. Intel is the only US company capable of producing cutting-edge chips domestically, a critical asset in the global race for semiconductor supremacy. Rivals like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and Samsung have US factories, but Intel's unique position makes it a focal point for national security and economic strategies. The proposed government stake aims to fund Intel's ambitious Ohio factory hub, initially announced in 2022 with a $20 billion investment, potentially scaling to $100 billion. This complex, intended to be the world's largest chip manufacturing facility, has faced delays, with production now pushed into the 2030s. The deal stems from a recent meeting between Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan and President Trump on August 11, 2025. Despite earlier tensions, Trump had called for Tan's resignation over alleged ties to Chinese firms; the discussions appear to have shifted toward collaboration. Intel emphasized its commitment, stating, 'We are deeply committed to supporting President Trump's efforts to strengthen U.S. technology and manufacturing leadership.' Intel has faced significant challenges, losing 60% of its stock value in 2024. Despite a 19% recovery in 2025, the company struggles to compete in the artificial intelligence chip market, where Nvidia and AMD dominate. Intel's foundry business, which manufactures chips for other companies, has yet to secure a major customer, a critical step for expansion. The government's investment could provide the financial boost needed to stabilize Intel's operations and accelerate its Ohio project, enhancing its competitiveness. The potential stake reflects a growing trend of the US government's involvement in strategic industries. Recent moves include a 15% stake of Nvidia and AMD chip sales to China, a $400 million equity stake in MP Materials, and a 'golden share' in the US Steel to facilitate its acquisition by Nippon Steel. The deal could strengthen Intel's financial position and signal confidence to investors and potential foundry clients.

Trump weighs US stake in Intel to boost Ohio chip plant: Report
The Trump administration is in talks with Intel over a potential US government stake in the chipmaker, Bloomberg News reported, citing people familiar with the move could help shore up Intel's long-delayed factory complex in Ohio, which the company once promised would become the world's largest chipmaking site. Bloomberg said the size of the possible stake remains unclear. The White House and Intel did not issue any comment on the The idea emerged after President Donald Trump met Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan earlier this week. "I met with Mr. Lip-Bu Tan, of Intel, along with Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, and Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday. "The meeting was a very interesting one. His success and rise is an amazing story."TRUMP CRITICISES INTEL CEO OVER CHINESE INVESTMENTSTrump has publicly targeted Tan in the past, even calling for his resignation over previous investments in Chinese tech firms, some tied to the Chinese military. Tan, who became CEO in March after joining Intel's board in 2022, now faces the challenge of reviving the company's fortunes in the booming AI chip sector dominated by said in a statement it is "deeply committed to advancing US national and economic security interests and is making significant investments aligned with the President's America First agenda."Tan, a veteran of the global semiconductor industry, founded Walden International in 1987, backing firms including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and China's state-owned SMIC. Chinese state media once described him as "actively" engaged in advancing the country's chipmaking capabilities.- EndsWith inputs from agencies Tune InMust Watch
