Tesla is making headlines with updates on its Full Self-Driving technology, including a new v14 release that has shown "hallucinations" and a promise from Elon Musk that it will allow texting and driving soon. Other EV makers, such as Kia, Lucid, and Rivian, are also making news with new product launches and achievements, including a Kia electric van breaking a Guinness World Record. Additionally, major companies like Meta and Volvo are investing in sustainable energy and electric vehicles, with a new $900m Texas solar mega-farm and Volvo donating an electric wheel loader to Habitat for Humanity.
