The Technaxx TX-320 is an affordable smart display that allows you to get Apple Car Play and Android Auto functionality with older cars. It features an AUX out and FM wireless transmitter, allowing you to connect it to your car’s audio, mimicking the functionality you would get on a newer, much more expensive car. Features…
I have previously reviewed several Engwe and have been happy with all of them. The Engwe T14 was perhaps the least impressive, but at £500, you have to have realistic expectations. I was impressed with the Engwe P26 Hybrid, and in hindsight, I think the Engwe C20 Pro has been my favourite Engwe bike I…
I am currently in the middle of reviewing the Engwe Engine Pro 2.0 eBike, which is advertised as a high-torque fat tyre folding bike. But why is toque important on an eBike? Does it justify the increased price, for example, the Engwe Engine Pro 2.0 costs £1400 with a toque of 75 Nm but you…
As a keen cyclist, one of my biggest annoyances (after cars) is flat tyres. There’s nothing quite as frustrating as getting a flat tyre when you’re 20 miles from home. Mini pumps are a great idea in theory, but I often find them unreliable. CO2 cartridges were a revelation when I first tried them, but…
I have previously reviewed the superb but extremely expensive Nextbase IQ Smart Dash Cam. It has all sorts of advanced AI features that help drivers in the event of a crash or other emergencies. However, it is prohibitively expensive, and it probably costs more than my old Corsa. For people like me, a more affordable…
MediaTek has announced the launch of four new automotive systems-on-chip (SoCs) within its Dimensity Auto Cockpit portfolio at NVIDIA GTC. The new chipsets, named Dimensity Auto Cockpit CX-1, CY-1, CM-1, and CV-1, are designed to offer powerful AI in-cabin experiences for the next generation of intelligent vehicles, spanning from premium to entry-level segments. The Dimensity…
Visual Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (vSLAM) isn’t just confined to robot vacuums; it’s a technology that has also started making its way into the automotive world. Though not as prevalent as in smart home devices, vSLAM technology is beginning to emerge as an important tool in autonomous driving systems. As someone who keeps a close…
Nextbase just announced their new Nextbase IQ smart dash cam. If you look at the specs and features, this is undeniably the most advanced dash cam on the market. This is an early review. I have only had the camera for a few days, and it is still using a beta version of the app…
Nextbase, the UK-based global leader in dash cam technology, has announced the launch of the Nextbase iQ, dubbed the world’s first truly smart connected dash cam. Dash cams are not normally something to get overly excited about. They all typically have similar features, recording footage, measuring speed, and often plotting your route on a map…
Following on from the Tado Heat Pump Connector announcement, Tado has also revealed another money-saving device in the form of the Tado Smart Charging app. This intelligent home charging solution leverages fluctuating electricity prices to optimise when your electric vehicle (EV) charges. By doing so, it promises an average annual saving of €300 on EV charging…
Over the past couple of years, I have reviewed several electric bikes, including the affordable £499 250W Engwe T14 and going up to the 750W Cyrusher XF900 electric bike. People inevitably wonder how fast these bikes can go and what they are capable of. There is no accurate answer to many of these questions. A…
NVIDIA has a long history of developing automotive SoCs; starting back in 2015, they have now released or announced 11 reference boards, and they have partnerships with many big-name car manufacturers, including BMW, Mercedes, and Jaguar. MediaTek has been eager to break into this fast-growing market, which according to Gartner, is projected to be worth…
