 Back in March, I reviewed the OnePlus 13 after using it for over a month. Now, five months later, having used the phone every single day, I can say my thoughts haven’t changed. In fact, I’ve grown to appreciate it even more. And with the Amazon Prime Day sale bringing a ₹10,000 discount, this feels like the perfect time to talk about why I still recommend the OnePlus 13. |  Baidu’s autonomous driving unit Apollo and leading car rental company CAR Inc. have officially launched the world’s first autonomous car rental service for the general public. The service went live on Tuesday in Wuhan, China, following the announcement of the partnership between the two companies in May. The new service allows users to rent fully driverless vehicles without any human assistance. |

Called the Insta360 X5 BMW Motorrad Edition, this limited edition model includes new features designed for use on the road. The camera has the same 8K 360-degree video recording as the regular X5, but it now comes with BMW Motorrad branding on the back cover and accessories. |  Lucid Motors has set a new Guinness World Record for the longest distance driven by an electric car on a single charge. The Lucid Air Grand Touring traveled 1,205 kilometers from St. Moritz, Switzerland to Munich, Germany without stopping to charge. The drive included alpine roads, highways, and secondary roads. This beats the previous record of 1,045 kilometers set in June 2025 by 160 kilometers. |
