Technology is not always about getting more controlled, more digital and more logical. And a mad new music program that's just launched is a brilliant demonstration of that… and why it matters.

The Autonomous Intern is an interesting little piece of equipment. It looks like the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, complete with a light beacon at the top of it, though in reality, it's only a 3D-printed pyramid case with a 4-GB Raspberry Pi 5, an extra cooling fan, and an LED light inside. It runs a custom software stack built on top of Linux that makes it basically just boot straight into OpenClaw so you can unleash your own AI agents to do your bidding.

Before the term "overlanding" entered the broad American lexicon, Global Expedition Vehicles (GXV) was building some of the largest, most fearsome overland rigs the US had seen ... or has ever seen since. The latest truck to wear the badge, the new GXV Wild evolves overland living to a higher standard while erasing the divide between inside and outside.

When it comes to plier multitools, the classic Leatherman family has served as the de facto format for over 40 years, sometimes even working as a proprietary eponym. But it's not the only style of plier-equipped multitool out there, as German legacy knifemaker Böker reminds with the new Naturensöhne MK II NXT, a streamlined multitool that takes on a single-handle format more similar to a Swiss Army knife. It's built to travel swiftly and lightly across the great outdoors, slicing, sawing and cranking its weight's worth when things need to get done, and done right.

American scooter. That’s an oxymoron right there. And an American electric scooter? That’s a far cry. While Americans are still slowly adopting electric bicycles and even motorcycles of late, e-scooters aren’t exactly the go-to choice for the USA as they have been in Europe and Asia.

Inflatable construction has long been making lighter rooftop tents. The latest generation is so light and packable, it's not even meant to ride to camp on the roof. The Portal Outdoors Nomis One finds its way to that category with a split-body design that carries in the trunk then inflates and hoists onto the roof or pickup truck bed in about 10 minutes. It delivers what might prove one of the market's best combinations of fuel economy-maintaining driving aerodynamics and comfortable above-ground camping.
