Electric vehicle innovator Faraday Future has filed three new patents through its subsidiary, Future AIHER, focusing on AI-powered hybrid extended-range systems. This move marks a significant step in integrating artificial intelligence with hybrid vehicle technology.

Mercedes-Benz and Google Cloud are expanding their partnership to introduce AI-powered conversational capabilities to the MBUX Virtual Assistant. Leveraging Google Cloud’s Automotive AI Agent, drivers will soon engage in natural-language conversations with their vehicles to access real-time navigation and point-of-interest information from Google Maps Platform. The enhanced assistant will debut in the new Mercedes-Benz CLA series later this year.
