Infiniti is trying to establish performance credentials with cars like the Q60 Red Sport, but so far it hasn't been able to match the Germans. It's not a production car, but the Project Black S hints at a more aggressive future for hotted-up Infiniti coupes. Read more
Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have identified a series of master genes that, when damaged through traumatic brain injury, can adversely trigger changes in other genes related to the onset of many neurological and psychiatric disorders. Read more
With Google's rebooted Android Wear 2.0 recently launching, we've now seen a few significant Wear smartwatch launches, for the first time in over a year. Let's see how two of those watches, the Huawei Watch 2 and LG Watch Sport, compare. Read more
In addition to the luxury and pure driving experience we've come to expect, the new BMW 5 Series ushers in a raft of innovative features that bring self-driving cars a step closer to reality. So how does this mix of tradition and technology play out on the road? Read more
Although the VW Group has mastered the art of platform sharing, the seven manufacturers under its umbrella go to great lengths to differentiate their vehicles. The latest concept to come from Volkswagen throws that approach out, acting as a base for the Group to develop ideas about autonomy. Read more
