<a href="https://www.caricarz.com/en/news/bmw-digital-key-available-for-iphone-and-android-devices/5343" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">BMW's Digital Key Plus feature</a> is now available on a number of Android smartphones, including the Samsung Galaxy S23+ and S23 Ultra, as well as the Google Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 6 Pro.

The Digital Key Plus functions similarly to the previous Digital Key, in that it replaces the traditional key fob in daily use, but it now includes more convenient features. 

You no longer need to place your smartphones in specific locations to lock, unlock, and start the car, thanks to ultra-wideband technology (UWB).<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">

“We never explicitly told the robot what a door handle is. It learned to focus on that region by itself,” said the engineering team in a statement.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Unlike typical robots that follow strict instructions, Mornine relies on real-time perception using 3D LiDAR, wide-angle and depth cameras, and a visual-language model. <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">She was trained in simulation, then deployed using Sim2Real methods, with live sensor data continuously feeding into cloud-based learning to improve her capabilities.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Mornine was first introduced by Chery as a virtual character aimed at engaging younger audiences through livestreams and digital media.  Over time, that concept evolved into a fully functional humanoid designed to assist in retail environments.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Today, Mornine is active in several Chery showrooms in China, where she supports tasks such as customer greetings, vehicle introductions, and item delivery.

The automaker is rolling out in-car video calls with Microsoft Teams, letting you join meetings while driving. Yes, your coworkers can now see you behind the wheel, thanks to the built-in camera.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">But don’t worry, safety is still a priority. You won’t be able to view shared screens, slides, or documents unless the car is fully parked. So while others can see you, your focus stays on the road.This feature is part of a <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2023/04/2023-mercedes-benz-c-class-bags-iihs-top-safety-pick-award" target="_blank" style="">bigger push by Mercedes to make the car more than just a way to get from A to B.</a> It’s launching first in the upcoming CLA, and is expected to make its way into other models like the latest E-Class, especially those already equipped with selfie cameras used for apps like TikTok and Zoom.

In most vehicles, apps like Teams and Zoom only work when parked. But Mercedes is flipping the script. “This is for professionals who want to be seen, even when they’re on the move,” the firm says.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">It’s a feature that might excite the always-connected crowd, but not everyone’s on board. For some, the car remains the last place to truly disconnect and enjoy a quiet escape from constant notifications.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">The experience starts with your camera off by default. Turn it on, and your video feed appears in the call. Just don’t expect to view anything others are sharing unless the car comes to a stop.

And there’s more. Mercedes is teaming up with Microsoft to integrate its 365 Copilot system. That means you’ll be able to manage your day, check your calendar, and respond to emails, all using voice commands while driving.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">The idea, according to Mercedes, is to turn your vehicle into a “third workspace,” right behind your home and office. Of course, not everyone wants that. Some would rather keep their car as a screen-free zone.

We’re just getting started,” the CTO continued. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18546/15694735/conversions/YASA-AxialFlux-Motor-7-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="15694735" alt="YASA-AxialFlux-Motor-7.jpg">While this record is still unofficial, YASA insists that it represents a “major milestone” not only for the company but also for what’s possible at the cutting edge of practical, high-performance electric motor design.”As of now, there are no official details on the real-world application of this new axial flux motor, nor when its production version will ever be launched. That being said, YASA currently supplies electric motors to infamous brands such as <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/07/new-ferrari-amalfi-bows-as-631-hp-successor-to-the-roma" target="_blank">Ferrari</a>, <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/07/launched-lamborghini-temerario-907-hp-v8-phev-from-rm135-million" target="_blank">Lamborghini</a>, and even <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/07/third-gen-mercedes-benz-cla-shooting-brake-bows-in-with-new-ev-version" target="_blank">Mercedes-Benz</a>—the latter simply because YASA is part of Mercedes-Benz AG.Once the new motor is ready, YASA said its production can reach up to 50,000 units a year, set to take place at the company’s main production facility in Oxfordshire, UK.<img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18546/15694736/conversions/Ferrari-SF90Stradale-LeMans-(1)-full_normal.jpg" data-media-id="15694736" alt="Ferrari-SF90Stradale-LeMans-(1).jpg" style="width: 50%;"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18546/15694737/conversions/Koenigsegg-Regera-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="15694737" alt="Koenigsegg-Regera.jpg"> Dubbed the “Cosworth of e-motors,” YASA was established in 2009 by Dr. Tim Woolmer while he was studying at Oxford. Over the past 16 years, the company has evolved from being a small-time operation to a major player in the electrified vehicle world, in charge of powering up some high-performance models like the <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2023/06/limited-edition-ferrari-sf90-livery-celebrates-ferraris-return-to-le-mans" target="_blank">Ferrari SF90 Stradale</a>, the Koenigsegg Regera, and numerous Mercedes-AMG models after the automaker’s acquisition in 2021.

YASA has claimed a new world record for the highest-density motor ever on its new 738 HP-rated axial flux motor.

The addition is part of the platform’s wider effort towards enhancing safety, convenience, and usability.This feature is designed to make ride-hailing more practical for families and support networks, and it targets the growing number of trips ordered on behalf of someone else."Family Profile is a simple but powerful way to support others, whether that’s older relatives, or anyone you care about, without needing to coordinate every trip. It’s about control, visibility, and freedom in one feature, and we’re excited to bring it to our customers in Malaysia,” says Afzan Lutfi, GM of Bolt Malaysia via press release. <h6 style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18543/15694443/KV-3-full.jpg" data-media-id="15694443" alt="KV-3.jpg" style="font-size: 0.8125rem; background-color: transparent; width: 100%;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Bolt Malaysia GM Afzan Lutfi.</div></h6> Essentially, the newly added ‘Family Profile’ function is a shared account function that allows ride management and payments for up to nice people under one single account. According to Bolt, it says between 2% and 6% of all rides are currently booked for other individuals – a process that often requires manually sharing trip details and coordinating externally via messaging apps.Through Family Profile, existing users can invite others to join their profile and set monthly spending limits for them. Additionally, users can elect to also receive live trip updates, including notifications when rides begin or end. <h6 style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18543/15694444/web_Bolt_e-hailing_flight-tracking_-2-full-full_normal.jpg" data-media-id="15694444" alt="web_Bolt_e-hailing_flight-tracking_-2-full.jpg" style="font-size: 0.8125rem; background-color: transparent; width: 100%;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Take note, the new Family Profile feature from Bolt cannot be used to book rides for un-accompanied minors.</div></h6> The requirements to enable the Family Profile are simple and straightforward. Firstly, invited members must first register for their own Bolt accounts, which in turn means each of them must be at the minimum age of 18 years old.Take note that the Family Profile feature cannot be used to book rides for un-accompanied minors. This age restriction, according to Bolt, is a deliberate safeguard tied to both legal requirements and safety considerations.Despite the latter, this new Family Profile function is set to benefit parents, caregivers and the likes of anyone who frequently arranges transport for others, including older adults who either aren’t regularly using smartphones or ride-hailing apps.<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>

This means the vehicle can park itself without any driver input under specific conditions.In a bold move that reflects its confidence in the system, BYD has pledged to take full responsibility for any losses caused by its <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2024/12/2025-denza-d9-debuts-with-gods-eye-adas" target="_blank">ADAS error</a> during parking. BYD clarified that it will cover these liabilities whenever the vehicle is found to be at fault in a legal proceeding.The company stated it will bear the entire cost of repairs, third-party property damage, and personal injury compensation if any malfunction or algorithm error in the parking assist system results in an accident.&nbsp; <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18402/15647476/conversions/byd_gods_eye-3-800x450-full_normal-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="15647476" alt="byd_gods_eye-3-800x450-full_normal.jpg"> If an incident occurs while parking, drivers won’t need to file an insurance claim.

The system was introduced even on its most affordable models, such as the BYD Seagull, priced from RMB69,800 (RM46,300).
