Most people still don’t want anything to do with robotaxis

I've been reporting on self-driving cars for over a decade, and I've seen the technology go through many ups and downs, highs and lows. But one thing has remained remarkably the same over the years: the public just ain't buying it. Poll after poll has revealed a deep and abiding skepticism toward au...

More phone cameras should come with silly telephoto lenses

Upgrading your phone with a camera grip attachment is one thing. But doll-sized telephoto lenses that you mount on top of the rear camera? C'mon. I wrote the Vivo X300 off as a gimmick, a funny concept designed to generate attention rather than actual sales. But then I spent a weekend carrying the p...

Nothing makes it easy to share files between any Android phone and a Mac
