Futuristic airship design

Can the flying car make the big jump from the screen to the sky?

What do Back to the Future, The Jetsons, and Bladerunner all have in common? In addition to being some of the 21st-century's most influential pop-culture events, they all featured something that has fascinated human imagination for over a century: the flying car. With this in mind, we decided to sit down with Siddhesh Bhogal to talk about his Polestar 40 airship, the future of mobility, and why we need to start looking at flying cars differently.

Milan is the centre of the design universe (again)

With machine learning exhibitions, anti-smartphone throwbacks, and a giant brutalist orange lavatory, Milan Design Week is always one of the most sought-after tickets on the cultural calendar. Designs first seen on these well-trodden streets inevitably filter down into your homes, wardrobes, and, yes, even cars. As any good creative will tell you, if you want to see what’s coming next in the world of design, you must first start in Milan. We join Nargess Banks for this year’s must-see attractions at Salone del Mobile and Fuorisalone.

Polestar's latest in-car app: Behavioural science is taking on EV charging

A new renewable charging app in the Netherlands has the potential to transform the EV charging landscape by providing real-time data on the country's energy mix. We spent the day with Behavioural Scientist Bodine van Styrum to learn the complex processes behind decision-making and how technology, including Polestar's new in-car renewable charging app, can play a vital role in tackling climate change.
