View Photos of the BMW Vision Driving Experience Concept
The BMW Vision Driving Experience concept is the latest in a line of vehicles that preview the next iteration of the BMW 3-series, with the iconic sports sedan set to feature both traditional gas and electric powertrains.
The concept car's bodywork has a lot of similarities to the Vision Neue Klasse concept from 2023, including the split-grille design that is integrated into the headlights.
There are a few changes, however, with the aforementioned grille and headlight setup becoming thinner than before and sitting above a large air intake in the lower bumper.
Underneath the muscular bodywork lies a powerful new control unit, which BMW calls "Heart of Joy."
This supercomputer controls all driving-related functions, including drivetrain, braking, charging, regeneration, and steering.
This is the first time drivetrain and driving dynamics will be handled by a single control unit, BMW says.
The Heart of Joy processes information 10 times faster than BMW's previous control units.
The concept also features illuminated wheels, which change color depending on whether the car is accelerating, using the friction brakes, or using regenerative braking.
The cabin also previews what to expect from BMW's upcoming EVs, showing a similar setup to what was found on the Neue Klasse concepts and to the Panoramic iDrive system the automaker recently showed at CES 2025.
BMW says the first vehicle to ride on the Neue Klasse platform will start production in Hungary later this year.

Group14 lands $463M from SK, Porsche, and others to make silicon anodes for EVs
Battery materials startup Group14 announced Wednesday it has closed a $463 million funding round to expand its manufacturing footprint, a sign that investors remain confident in the future of electric vehicles. The startup manufactures silicon anode materials, which significantly boost the storage capacity of lithium-ion batteries. Group14 currently operates three factories, two in the U.S. and one in South Korea. Despite headlines about softening demand growth for electric vehicles, the global market for lithium-ion batteries remains strong. Over the next decade, its expected to grow more than 15% annually, quintupling in size, according to Precedence Research. And automakers and investors are still in pursuit of companies working on technology that will make EVs more efficient and affordable. The round was led by battery manufacturer SK with participation from ATL, Lightrock, Microsoft, Porsche, and OMERS. Alongside the round, Group14 also announced it had 'acquired full ownership' of a joint venture with SK in South Korea, which includes its BAM 3 factory. SK had owned 75% of the JV. When asked whether the value of the JV transaction was included in the Series D total, Group14 spokesperson Kristen Caron said the company was 'not disclosing any additional details about the round.' Silicon has long been targeted as a potential replacement for graphite, today's go-to anode material, because it can hold up to 10 times more electrons. But with every charge and discharge, pure silicon anodes have a tendency to crumble as the material expands and contracts, something that graphite is more resistant to. Startups like Group14 and its competitor Sila have accommodated silicon's propensity to swell by creating structures that keep silicon in place without sacrificing the anode's overall integrity. Group14's material is a scaffold with internal voids that hold the silicon, giving it room to expand. The material itself can be blended with graphite or replace it entirely. Many companies still opt for the latter because of graphite's inherent stability. But the more silicon used, the more energy a single cell can store. Group14 says its material can improve energy density by up to 50% and cut fast-charging times below 10 minutes.

Cadillac's desert-racing concept car previews the future of luxury SUVs
Boasting a lifted ride, 24-inch wheels and both autonomous and performance-driving modes, the Cadillac Elevated Velocity concept car reveals designs and features that will carry the brand's V-series vehicles into the future. With electric all-wheel drive and an adjustable air suspension, the sleek SUV has gull-wing doors, a modern, roomy interior, 2+2 seating and an augmented-reality head-up display ― combining features Cadillac offers now and is evaluating for tomorrow. The concept also previews innovative ideas for desert racing, including repelling sand from its sleek four-door body and peering through dust storms. The Elevated Velocity debuted at the Quail, a luxury vehicle event in Carmel, California, on Aug. 15. The Quail is part of a weekend of events for luxury, racing and classic vehicles on and near the Monterey Peninsula. An earlier Cadillac concept called Opulent Velocity debuted at the Quail last year. What's cool about the Cadillac Elevated Velocity? The look of tomorrow's Cadillacs Cadillac expects the market for high-performance electric luxury SUVs to grow. The Elevated Velocity's profile ― long hood, spacious interior, short rear overhang, fastback rear end ― is consistent with the current Cadillac Lyriq and Celestiq. 'Concepts are the compass for us,' GM design chief Brian Nesbitt said during a briefing on the Elevated Velocity. Other exterior touches include Cadillac's signature vertical lighting, illuminated front and rear badges, Vapor Blue exterior paint and blue-tinted windows. Full-width rear lights create a three-dimensional effect Cadillac calls a 'light tunnel.' Infrared light and 'dust-phobic vibration' The Elevated Velocity has modes for interior comfort and different kinds of travel, from hands-free relaxation to desert racing. A separate set of driving modes — in addition to that enhanced vision for sandstorms and that "elements defy" mode that generates a 'dust-phobic' vibration, like a horse shaking itself clean — include: Interior luxury The interior has four pedestal bucket seats. A floating center console extends from the dash to rear seats. The yoke-style steering wheel incorporates a hub-mounted display screen that's intended to be most useful when the driver seat reclines and the steering wheel retracts. The HUD delivers information to the driver when the car is in hands-on mode. Interior colors and materials include: Cadillac doesn't plan to build the Elevated Velocity, but its appearance and features will influence the brand's upcoming performance models.

The Pixel Buds 2a are a big step up for Google's budget true wireless earbuds
TL;DR Google has launched the Pixel Buds 2a. The budget earbuds gain a variety of new features like Active Noise Cancelation, multipoint connectivity, and more. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are now available in Moonstone and are getting new software features. It's been four years since Google launched the Pixel Buds A series. While they're still decent earbuds to this date, it's long been time for an update. At today's Pixel hardware launch event, the tech giant finally unveiled the second iteration of its budget earbuds, the Pixel Buds 2a. Along with this reveal, the company also showed off a new colorway for the Pixel Buds Pro 2 and a few new features. Google Pixel Buds 2a Google Pixel Buds 2a Twist-to-adjust stabilizer • ANC • Binaural audio support MSRP: $129.00 Budget price, premium features. The Google Pixel Buds 2a are the 2025 budget-friendly Pixel Buds offering. As the smallest and lightest A-series buds yet, the Buds 2a are equipped with ANC, a twist-to-adjust stabilizer, and the Tensor A1 chipset. They integrate with Gemini AI tools, and offer an IP54 rating. Don't let the word "budget" fool you, the Buds 2a offer up to 10 hours of music playback per charge, an easily repaired charging case, Binaural audio support, and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity with Multipoint switching. See price at Amazon What's new with the Pixel Buds 2a? Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Unlike the Pixel 10 series, Google has made some big changes to the A-series buds with its latest entry. One change that's immediately noticeable is the design, which has adopted a new look. Google has replaced the old wingtips with stabilizers and added cutouts. Overall, it's harder to visually tell the difference between the 2a and the Pro 2. These earbuds will be available in your choice of Iris or Hazel and will come with four eartips for a comfortable fit. Hardware C. Scott Brown / Android Authority It's not just the outside that has changed; Google has implemented various upgrades throughout the device. The Pixel Buds 2a introduce the Tensor A1 processor to the A-series, the same chip found in the Pro 2. They also boast an IP54 rating for water and dust resistance, while the case offers an IPX4 rating — better than the IPX4 rating the earbuds previously had. You'll also find that these earbuds last longer than their predecessor. Users will have 10 hours of listening time and up to 27 hours with the help of the charging case. For comparison, the original A-series earbuds lasted five hours on their own, with the case bringing that total up to 24 hours. It's also important to note that the charging case features a replaceable battery. Speaking of which, you can replace the charging case battery yourself at home. Google told us that the inside of the case has been designed with mint pull tabs and accessible screws to replace the battery when needed. Elsewhere, we're looking at two microphones, capacitive touch sensors for controlling music and calls, and IR proximity sensors for in-ear detection. Additionally, those new cutouts cover the microphones with wind-blocking mesh, just like the Pro 2. Features Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Arguably, the most significant changes that the Pixel Buds 2a bring to the table are the features. For the first time, the A-series will have Active Noise Cancelation (ANC). With ANC turned on, listening time goes from 10 hours to seven hours, with the case bringing that up to 20 hours. A couple of other audio-related firsts are the inclusion of transparency mode and spatial audio. Speaking of audio, Google recently brought Auracast support to Android. When Android Authority asked Google if the Pixel Buds 2a would support Auracast, a spokesperson said that the 2a does not support the format. Something that the earbuds will support is multipoint connectivity. That means you won't have to disconnect and connect every time you want to switch between devices. There will also be support for Find Hub so you can find your earbuds on a map if they ever get lost. You can even get your earbuds to ring when you're nearby, and they'll ring louder if they are sitting in the case. Google tells us that only the earbuds will ring, so finding a lost case without the earbuds inside may prove to be tricky. It should come as no surprise, but the tech giant has equipped its new audio device with Gemini. Users can talk with the AI to retrieve recent emails, get directions, brainstorm, and so on. Although Google gave the Pixel Buds 2a plenty of upgrades, there are some features we wish it hadn't left on the cutting room floor. For example, there's still no wireless charging support. And the case lacks a speaker, so there won't be any kind of audio cue to let you know if your earbuds are in the case correctly. What's new with the Pixel Buds Pro 2? There won't be a new iteration of the Pixel Buds Pro this year. However, Google has introduced a new colorway to help you match your earbuds with your new Pixel 10 Pro. In addition to Porcelain, Hazel, Wintergreen, and Peony, you can now get the Pixel Buds Pro 2 in Moonstone. On top of a new color, the existing flagship earbuds are getting a software update. This upgrade brings notifications for when your charging case is fully charged or running low on juice, and you'll also be able to talk with Gemini Live. However, the update won't bring Auracast support Google informed us. Don't want to miss the best from Android Authority?

Once September rolls around, you'll have access to Adaptive Audio, which will allow the earbuds to automatically adjust the volume depending on your environment. There will also be a new feature called Loud Noise Protection that automatically dampens sudden loud noises. You'll gain the ability to answer calls and reply to text messages by nodding or shaking your head. And you'll be able to talk with Gemini in loud environments with advanced audio processing that eliminates background noise. Price and availability Pre-orders for the Pixel Buds 2a and Moonstone Pixel Buds Pro 2 start today. The Pixel Buds 2a will be available on shelves and on the Google Store by October 9 and will set you back $129. That's about $30 more than the current price of the original A-series. Meanwhile, availability will open up for the Moonstone Pixel Buds Pro 2 on August 28 for $229.
