Denmark has provisionally approved Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” (Supervised) system, making it the fourth European country to clear the software in roughly eight weeks. The Danish Road Traffic Authority, Færdselsstyrelsen, confirmed the decision today — notably after Denmark had previously raised concerns about the technology at the EU level. Denmark accepts Dutch approval after its own review Færdselsstyrelsen said it accepted the provisional type approval originally issued by the Dutch vehicle authority, RDW, on April 10. But the Danish authority stressed it conducted its own independent review before signing off. “After a thorough review and assessment of the technical documentation, Færdselsstyrelsen…

Final Fantasy Resonance is the first game in the series to employ the popular modern-retro art style. Square Enix has spent the last few years giving all sorts of games the lavish HD-2D treatment, from classic titles reimagined to brand new franchises. But for whatever reason it’s only now getting round to Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy Resonance can proudly call itself the first HD-2D Final Fantasy game, and it’s not a remake like the recent Dragon Quest ones, but rather a new(ish) series entry based on the first story arc of mobile game Final Fantasy Brave…

When you have to commute through heavy traffic every day, you’d think you’re limited to small-displacement commuter motorcycles. But such motorcycles are usually full of compromises. The usual crop of everyday commuters is terrific in traffic but can barely handle highways or long rides. What’s worse, these bikes can be boring to ride, too. Fortunately, you’re not limited to boring small-displacement bikes for commuting in traffic. There are plenty of fast bikes with a split personality. They aren’t necessarily designed for heavy traffic or even commuting, but they can still handle everyday commuting without compromising on the fun factor you’d…

Get Spyglass: The insider hookup, in your inbox Your exclusive look at future cars and secret prototypes, straight from our spy photographer. Hot on the heels of its (unexpected) unveiling, the Audi Nuvolari supercar prototype has already been spotted testing at the Nurburgring. The company’s surprise introduction looks an awful lot like the old R8, but we’re being told it’s something else entirely—an even more aspirational machine that will boast a twin-turbocharged V8 with “around” 1,000 horsepower. Just how was Audi able to pull something so sensational out of what appears to be thin air? Well, we don’t need to…

Rapid changes in vehicle technology, customer expectations and workforce demographics are forcing repair shops to rethink how they train and develop their staff, according to a shop owner and industry instructor. Matthew Wagg, owner of Accelerated Diagnostic and Automotive and a coach with Auto Ignite Management, told attendees of the Midwest Auto Care Alliance Hi‑Tech Training and Vision Expo that a culture of continuous learning is becoming essential for long‑term survival in the auto repair industry. “The landscape is changing, and it’s changing not only in the automotive industry,” Wagg said. “It’s changing everywhere.” Speaking at the event in Kansas…

It’s a tough time to be a car enthusiast at the moment. Automakers are building fewer, genuinely affordable sports cars, naturally aspirated V6 and V8 engines are becoming a thing of the past, and to make matters worse, only two SUVs are currently on sale with manual transmissions. There is a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel, though, as it certainly looks as if these two SUVs have staying power. One is the Jeep Wrangler, the other is the Ford Bronco, and together, they form your only three-pedal-SUV options for 2026. The Wrangler And Bronco Are Your…

BYD plans to install 300 ultra-rapid 1500kW chargers in the UK by the end of next year – and it could charge far less than rival providers, despite offering speeds several times higher.  Flash chargers are BYD’s self-developed answer to Tesla’s Supercharger network – and will quickly start to rival it for coverage, with around 3000 units planned to be installed across Europe by 2027. The Chinese company said this rapid roll-out (focused on high-traffic areas and motorways) will result in there being a Flash charger roughly every 50km, or 31 miles. There are currently around 20,000 Superchargers in operation in Europe, spread across 1500 sites. Flash chargers are far…

The Pentagon has targeted the Chinese EV supply chain, sparking criticism regarding the rationality of the decision. BYD (HKEX: 1211) has responded to its inclusion in a US Department of Defense (DOD) list of Chinese military-linked companies, stating that the designation is unjustified and will not disrupt its normal business operations. In a Hong Kong Stock Exchange filing released on Tuesday, BYD said that it is neither…

Forget about the controversially styled Audi Nuvolari supercar for just a moment, because Audi has reaffirmed its commitment to V8 engines in America in a big way with a new generation of V8-powered 2027 Audi SQ7. What you see here is the all-new third-generation SQ7, alongside its Q7 counterpart, and the big news is that there isn’t a hybrid in sight — just two V-shaped engine options including a V8 that’s got RS power levels. The mid-size luxury SUVs have evolved in their rivalry against the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and BMW X5, and with a bigger Q9 on the table, have…
