If you think that the Rivian R1S is just the SUV version of the R1T pickup, you’re right. That doesn’t change how great it is. Mostly.

Few of us enjoy the dentist – but next time you're in the chair, think about how lucky you are not to have been visiting a Neanderthal tooth doctor. New research on a single tooth from a Russian cave has found that its center is marked with the kind of grooves made by stone tools used as rudimentary drills.

It's been close to two years since Red Bull revealed the RB17, a low-slung aerodynamic hypercar teased as capable of generating nearly twice its own weight in downforce. Now, in 2026, we’re not too far away from the real thing.

Airstream trailers boast a lot of positives, but "cheap" and "lightweight" are not typically among them. In fact, we never expected to use those two terms in an Airstream description, but the new World Traveler trailer is in fact designed as a lighter, more affordable Airstream travel trailer option. True, it carries the big asterisk of being light and cheap *for an Airstream, but it does demonstrate clearly that the iconic Silver Bullet badge is continuing to adapt its near-century-old design to the changing trends of modern times.

All right, I admit it, I have a thing for affordable off-road electric motorcycles. There’s just something about a battery-powered, inexpensive dual sport that’s quiet, filled with torque, and almost as light as a lawn mower. Heck yeah!

Sleep loss is often one of the most challenging symptoms of dementia and Alzheimer’s, affecting patients long before memory loss and a formal diagnosis is made. New research from the University of Kentucky has likened poor sleep to a canary in a coal mine, an early symptom of neurodegeneration that could serve as a potential new biomarker to identify the disease.

Volkswagen withdrew its classic Transporter vans (Eurovan) from the American market after the 2003 model year, thus putting a fast end to a romantic decades-long era of great American road trips. The tiny, breezy VW camper vans that had symbolized the open-ended freedom of the road were no more ... at least so far as brand-new models were concerned. The American camper van industry was never quite the same after that, scrambling its way upmarket to larger, more customized vehicles that now commonly price above luxury SUVs. But that dark near-quarter century of American RV history is coming to an end as Volkswagen announces a new factory camper van.

Times are weird, and I guess weird times call for weird measures. At least, as per Honda, which thinks it's about time electric motorcycles replicated the old-school feel of gas bikes.

Arcade machines are large, heavy, and take up a lot of space. Even though they're fun and have a cool retro look, they can definitely feel out of place in people's homes. And that’s fair – not everyone wants their living room to look like a 1990s pizza restaurant. But what if you could own a machine that was easy to put away when not in use? That’s exactly the idea behind Swap Arcade.

For years, machines have navigated the world color-blind. LiDAR sensors – the laser-based eyes of self-driving cars, industrial robots, and inspection drones – build precise 3D maps of their surroundings, but everything is built of monochrome geometric shapes. Ouster's new Rev8 sensor family aims to change that, not by bolting a camera onto a LiDAR unit, but by fusing color directly into every point of data the sensor captures.
