The world is still abuzz following Tesla’s recent Model 3 unveiling, which marked the beginning of the next phase of Tesla’s mission. The company’s first few models were high-end cars with a somewhat narrow addressable market, but Tesla will now look to offer a car that is far more affordable. More than 300,000 Model 3 preorders have been taken at this point, and the car is expected to send electric vehicle adoption soaring following its release.

But despite the fact that the upcoming new Model 3 is the talk of the town right now, Tesla is still focused on its popular Model S sports sedan as well. A Model S refresh is expected to be announced as soon as this week, and new reports may have detailed the biggest new upgrades the company plans to offer.

If we learned anything from watching Batman v Superman, is that good guys can become bad guys at any moment. But Suicide Squad, set to debut in early August, will show us how the U.S. government from the DC Comics universe plans to turn bad guys into good guys – or at least motivate them to do our bidding when the world is in danger.

Released during Sunday night’s MTV Movie Awards, the new Suicide Squad trailer tells us why we need the Joker, Harley Quinn, Deadshot, and everyone else.

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: As a smartphone vendor prepares to finally unveil a long anticipated new flagship phone, practically every single detail leaks out just days before the press conference — or in this case, virtual press conference. It seems like there are never any surprises these days when companies take the wraps off of a new phone because phones are almost always unwrapped well in advance thanks to leaks. Not even Apple can keep a phone secret anymore.

This time around it’s the upcoming new HTC 10, which is set to be officially unveiled on Tuesday morning. Unfortunately for HTC, it looks like just about everything there is to know about the sleek new phone has new been revealed.

An action camera as good as a GoPro for a fraction of the price

Go Pro is in deep trouble, but not for the reasons all of the Wall Street analysts are saying. There is a big market out there for high-quality action cameras, and sales will likely continue to climb. The problem GoPro is running into is a problem that all technology leaders run into after a while: Other companies out there are now selling products that are just as good as a GoPro camera for a fraction of the price.

Here’s a perfect example: From now until the end of the day on April 2, Amazon is selling the Activeon CX Action Camera (Onyx Black) for just $91. Is it really as good as a GoPro? A whopping 4.4 star customer rating on Amazon doesn’t lie.

A new Top Gear season is coming to BBC soon, but it’ll be a different show without Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May at the helm. Not a bad one, just different. Meanwhile, the three popular TV hosts are having a tough time naming the Amazon show they’re currently developing. A short teaser trailer was posted on Amazon’s U.K. YouTube channel with their musings regarding an appropriate car show title. And no, it won’t have the word “gear” in it, for legal reasons.

%name Watch Tesla’s Autopilot feature prevent an accident with a merging truck by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

While we’re not quite there yet, Tesla’s Autopilot features may very well embody the future of vehicle transport. Released in 2015 for the Model S, Tesla’s Autopilot hardware is comprised of a vast array of advanced sensors and cameras that, working in unison, can successfully steer a car “down the highway, change lanes, and adjust speed in response to traffic.”

Of course, autonomous driving isn’t just about convenience, it’s also about safety. Indeed, one of the more important aspects of Autopilot is its automatic emergency steering and side collision warning feature. In other words, a Tesla equipped with Autopilot hardware can detect an impending side collision and automatically adjust accordingly to avoid it.

%name This has to be one of the smallest Bluetooth headsets on the planet by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

A Bluetooth headset is one of the most important smartphone accessories out there because it frees up your hands while you’re talking on the phone. These little accessories have come quite a long way in recent years, but what might be most surprising is how compact they’ve become.

Take the Rowkin Mini Bluetooth 4.1 Sport In-Ear Headset with Noise Cancelling Mic and Portable Charging Case, for example. This little headset is shockingly small but it packs more features than you would expect to find even in a larger model.
