How the Toyota Prius and Prius Prime Hybrids Compare in Our Testing :
Toyota's new Prius is undoubtedly a hit, bringing flashy new styling and far more performance to the venerable gas-electric hatchback. It even won a Car and Driver 10Best Cars award for 2024. But while the Prius is clearly much-improved compared with its predecessor, there's a lot more than that to consider about the new model. Most importantly, there's the choice between the standard Prius hybrid and the Prius Prime plug-in hybrid.
What are the pros and cons of each Prius? While they share styling, interior components, and technology features, the Prius and the Prius Prime have different powertrains and batteries. One also can be plugged into a charger and the other cannot. Here, we're using our test results to illustrate the differences between the two.

BMW Tech Lets Valets Drive Your Car Like a Remote-Controlled Toy :
Will the valets of the future still take joyrides when they're driving your car from a cube farm on the opposite side of town? We ask because BMW has dreamed up a remote valet service where professional parkers would remotely move vehicles from the curb to a parking spot and back, all while sitting in an isolated operations center miles away. At CES 2024, we used what looks like a racing simulator rig to drive a BMW iX electric SUV around a parking-lot cone course about 50 feet from where we were sitting. While the teleoperated valet service is only a concept right now, the technology exists to make it a reality today
