Forget flying cars and smart refrigerators that judge you for your midnight snacks. At CES 2026, Hyundai just did something we've been waiting for decades, but also a little afraid of. They brought the new Atlas. Not the kind that parkours in YouTube videos, but one that's ready to go. It walks like a human, lifts like an Olympian, and picks itself up off the ground in a way that would send an exorcist fleeing. The new Atlas is here, and it's ready to take on the heavy lifting—literally.

If you thought autonomous driving was the pinnacle of technology, you were asleep at the wheel. The new neuromorphic e-skin (NRE-Skin) doesn't just deliver touch, it delivers real, authentic pain. And trust me, it's the best safety feature since the airbag. We tested how the "chassis" that senses every scratch performs.
Elon Musk is like that friend who is always late for dinner, but when he finally arrives, he brings the best wine. It's November 2025. The year that, according to our spring predictions at City Magazine, was supposed to be a breakthrough year for "baby Tesla" is coming to an end. Let's remember: in March, we wrote that the "Model Q" (or Model 2, or even Model 1, as we affectionately called it in May) would hit the roads in June. What did we get? A cheaper Model 3 and a bunch of new promises about robotaxis. But don't be disappointed. Everything suggests that the delay was a tactical move of genius - or just chaos in Texas. Either way, 2026 is the year.

BMW is known for introducing innovative technologies into its production processes, but this time it is something completely new. For the first time, they tested the use of a humanoid robot called Figure 02, developed by the California company Figure. At BMW's plant in Spartanburg, USA, it was tested for several weeks under real production conditions, where it successfully inserted sheet metal parts into special fixing points – a task that requires a high degree of skill.
Figure 02, an upgraded version of the humanoid robot, brings remarkable improvements such as the ability to talk to people, self-repairs and advanced arms with 16 degrees of freedom. The robot has already been tested at the BMW factory and promises to revolutionize production.
