before the duke of edinburgh's funeral last april. a spokesman for borisjohnson said it was "deeply regrettable" that the events took place at a time of national mourning. official figures show covid infections climbed to a record high in the uk during the first week ofjanuary with an estimated a5 million cases. london was the only part of the country to see a fall. health officials are concerned about the slower take—up of booster vaccines in some areas. now on bbc news, it's time for click. this week, we are on wheels as we raced through the new car techin we raced through the new car tech in las vegas, and then bring it safely to a stop. but is anyone actually in the driving seat? plus, what's up with this shop? we are in the supermarket but has something very strange in store. hey, welcome to all of the consumer electronics show in vegas, we have cars for you this week, lots of them. one of the biggest draws of the show in recent years has been the motor hole so lara, are you

pretend child at the end of this track. this is a tesla which is already been fitted with a system that is in most new cars which uses cameras and radar to hopefully prevent it from hitting something if an accident is likely to happen but there is limitations. this feels horrible. you want it to stop. i think we are close. and it has. quite a jolt, i think we are close. and it has. quite ajolt, obviously, that we have not hit the child. whereas the tesla... that was quite something. this technology has already been built into cars right now is a safety function and in the future could be used in autonomous vehicles too. this tesla and other cars with current collision avoidance systems have their limits as to what they can prevent. accidents still happen but lidar has the potential to

this is the indie one and it is keen to show off its supercomputer. it's capable of high quality mobile gaming and even has vr connected, not that that is much use to the driver while driving. its power also means it can be very productive for work on the go. this car isn't just about the supercomputer, though. it is also covered in cameras. on the outside there is one up front and back. internally, there are three as well. and if you are so inclined, you could post your on social media. yes, if getting from a to b is an interruption to your constant posting, or the thing you actually

headquarters of halo in las vegas. bill's set up is almost indistinguishable from a video game. he is using the standard game. he is using the standard game controllers and a fancy monitor. but the view he sees is not computer—generated. the car he is driving is actually real and the passenger he is tasked with picking up is actually me. the next surprise is that i am not being driven, i am driving myself now. and the pitch is that while we wait for a world full of autonomous cars which i driving around, picking people up, taking them where they want to go and dropping them off and going off to do otherjobs, remote—controlled cars can do some of that work. and that means that some people may not need to own a car. ok. i'm here. the halo headquarters are less plush offices and more a rented house on a street, very much like the start—up had defined all over silicon valley is where companies live and work together. now remote—controlled cars are not legal everywhere, obviously, but nevada is one of the states that famously allow testing of this kind of technology. which means bill is one of the very few people who have driven a car without being in the driving seat. what does it

these centres are rich hot rods are essentially entirely preprogrammed supercomputers. eachis preprogrammed supercomputers. each is differentiated only by software custom designed by nine engineering

important i higher speeds. passing is i incredibly important because it showcases how autonomous vehicles can perceive one another, can determine when to pass, when to overtake, and we are going to need to do that in regular highway driving if people are indifferent autonomous vehicles, they are going to have to encounter one another at high speeds. and it has never been tested out, one has never been tested out, one has done high—speed passing of autonomous vehicles ever in the world, so this is going to be a realfirst. 50 world, so this is going to be a real first-— realfirst. so race day is here. the _ realfirst. so race day is here. the original- real first. so race day is i here. the original multicar head—to—head contest proved a little too ambitious in these covid times, so this is a knockout contest between two cars at a time, each taking it in turns to pass each other safely at high speed until one carfails to safely at high speed until one car fails to overtake and get eliminated. and all does not quite go according to plan. ouch, it is going to be a pricey effects. organisers say crashes like this are part of the course, as the tech matures. but won't they also dent consumer confidence? i don't think so. the main advantage is trying to develop the technology. if you prototype something at 300 kilometres an hour, at 30 kilometres an hour, at 30 kilometres an

drink you can actually buy, but everything has been infused with a secret additive, and the ceo hasn't been seen for a while. i actually think there could be a mystery lying just... beneath the surface. stepping through one of the shots stepping through one of the shot�*s portals takes you to another dimension, where more of the mystery unfolds. but what you do there is up to you. there is a story to immerse yourself in, using one of the store's loyalty cards to track your progress, or you can simply treat it as a very instagram a bowl, multisensory playground. more than 300 artists have worked on creating the experience, with more than 40 projectors providing some of the visuals. in the parallel dimension i met drew, and asked him whether this was more art or escape room. i him

another cold night, certainly, for england and wales. widespread frost and also some mist and fog reforming. some of it will be quite dense in places to start this morning. but most of the country this weekend will be dry and settled. there will be some showers around, though, as a weak front spreads its way across the uk. here it is out west in the atlantic for saturday. but you can see its higher pressure towards the south and the east of the country. lightish winds again through the morning. so that means we will start off rather cloudy, misty, murky. some fog around too. most of that fog lifting into low cloud through the day, so quite a bit of grey weather, i think, around. but there will be some sunshine around, the best of it in northern england, into northern and eastern scotland, northern ireland as well into the afternoon, perhaps south—west england too. temperatures, 5—9 degrees for most of us. more of a breeze coming up from the south—west, so that means the air quality should be a bit better for london and the south—east. now, as we head through saturday night, most places will be dry, bar the odd shower around. further north, we've got that weather front spreading down from the north. that'll bring a band of cloud and rain, some blustery showers following in behind there. and temperatures, 1—4 degrees across the board, so not quite as cold as what we've had the last few nights. as we head on into sunday, we've got that weak cold front spreading southwards across england and wales. there will be barely anything on it, so a band of cloud, just some spots of rain slowly pushing southwards. behind it, skies will brighten up, but it will be a breezy day right across the board. there are more isobars on the pressure chart. even windy across the north of scotland, with gales in the northern isles. temperature—wise, pretty much where we should be looking at this time of year, ranging from around 7—9 degrees. we could see 10 or 11 degrees across southern england and south wales. now, as we move out of sunday into monday, that weather front clears away and then high pressure builds back in it once again. that'll settle things down, notjust for monday, for the rest of the week. so it could be quite a chilly start again for monday. light winds for most, apart from northern and western scotland. there will be a bit more cloud here, a bit more of a breeze. and temperatures — again, around the seasonal average — range from around 6—9 celsius. now, apart from a few weather fronts across the north of the uk as we move through this new week — that could bring a few showers across the north — most places will be dry and settled thanks to that area of high pressure. but signs of it turning a little bit chillier towards the end of the week. richard taylor in the pit lane and a couple of minutes. this is bbc news. i'm tim willcox with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. novak djokovic's legal team
