The Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) has confirmed it is working on a 4.4-mile highway (connecting Lake and Orange counties) that will feature a section capable of wirelessly charging EVs, not just when they’re parked above a charging pad, but while they’re on the go (via ENRX). Backed by more than $540 million, the project will not only connect the rapidly growing regions but also serve as a testing ground for dynamic wireless EV charging. Over the 4.4-mile section, the walk will include a 0.75-mile stretch with inductive coils underneath the concrete pavement. Why commercial fleets stand to gain the…

Dreame Technology, a Chinese brand best known for home cleaning solutions such as cordless vacuums and robot cleaners, has teased (not launched) an all-electric hypercar with a claimed output of 1,000 horsepower. While the brand dropped a couple of teasers in early December, it has officially announced its first car ever ahead of the CES 2026. It’s worth noting that Dreame has unveiled only a few images of the hypercar, which remains unnamed for now. Dreame’s unexpected leap into high-performance EVs The four-door coupe resembles the Bugatti Brouillard (not the Chiron) with its low-profile design and overall silhouette. On the…

Before Microsoft shipped the Surface Duo with Android, it was meant to run a custom version of Windows called Andromeda OS, built specifically for dual-screen devices. That plan was quietly scrapped years ago. Now, thanks to a leaked build and some serious developer effort, you can finally see what Microsoft was working on and even try it yourself. For the uninitiated, Andromeda OS was a Windows 10-based platform that looked and felt a lot like Windows Phone, complete with Live Tiles and a Start Menu designed to stretch across two displays. Microsoft originally envisioned it as the software foundation for…

Apple‘s late-90s design era refuses to stay in the past, and a new Apple Watch concept inspired by the iMac G3 shows why that era still has a grip on fans. Created by Saffy Creatives, the concept imagines what Apple’s smartwatch might look like if it borrowed directly from the translucent, candy-colored computers that defined the late 1990s and early 2000s. This is a fan-made design, not an official product, but the level of detail makes it easy to see why it is getting attention. By blending the modern wearable with a bold slice of Apple’s past, the Apple Watch…

It also plays an important role in signaling broader industry trends and a sense of direction for the months ahead. CES 2026 is expected to continue that tradition. Early signs suggest next year’s laptops are going to focus on performance gains spread across multiple platforms, form factors, and price tiers. At the center of it all are new mobile CPUs including Intel’s upcoming Core Ultra Series 3 codenamed Panther Lake, AMD’s Gorgon Point including the new Ryzen AI 400 series, and Qualcomm’s second-generation…
