  • Honda Odyssey Upstages Both Deadpool And Wolverine In Movie Trailer

    People are getting tired of superhero movies. Marvel’s been trying its hardest to get Young Avengers off the ground, but it’s not 2008 anymore, and it’s a lot harder to get people to the theaters. Ironically, that makes it the perfect time to bring back Deadpool and pair him up with Wolverine in a highly anticipated movie called, well, Deadpool & Wolverine. The trailer dropped Monday, and while there’s plenty of other stuff to digest, our first takeaway is that Deadpool & Wolverine sure looks...

  • Tesla Cybertruck Slippery Pedal Recall Caused By Soap

    Tesla issued a recall for every single Cybertruck built thus far, as well as a stop-sale that lasted nearly a week, and it’s something that can’t be solved with an over-the-air update.

    Atlas is dead, long live Atlas. The hydraulically-articulated version of Boston Dynamics’ humanoid robot was retired last week in favor of its electric motor-driven version introduced on Wednesday. Hyundai is majority owner of Boston Dynamics, and the new all-electric Atlas will eventually replace the company’s workers on factory floors, maybe starting with the ones who voted to unionize. “The humanoid form factor is a useful design for robots working in a world designed for people,” says Boston...

  • Ford Will Paint Your Mustang For Free, So Long As The Color Is Boring

    The United States are in a dark age for automotive color. It’s all monochrome as far as the eye can see, even as the era of Nardo Gray Omnipresence begins to wane. Yet, while buyers clamor for bright hues, manufacturers are going the other way — charging ever more for color. Ford is the latest to jump on the cost-for-color train, this year making every single non-grayscale color an upcharge compared to black, white, silver, and gray. You can still have your Mustang for under $31,000, but God...
