At the end of 2020, the market capitalization of Tesla was roughly equivalent to that of the nine largest automakers in the world combined. In 2019, over 3 million Electric Vehicles (EVs) were sold, and with a forecast CAGR of 21% until 2030, it is expected that nearly 27 million EVs will be sold in 2030.
Ford, Volkswagen, BMW, Nissan, Toyota, GM, and Honda have all announced ambitious goals for their EV offerings, and deadlines between 2022 and 2025 are fast approaching.
EVs are part of many major and positive trends globally, including the need to address carbon emissions, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, improve safety when combined with assisted and autonomous driving, support the more cost-efficient transportation of goods (commercial vehicles) and establish smart city ecosystems.

Whether you are talking about prototyping or the mass production of your end product, every business needs to ensure that they are partnering with the right manufacturer. Your manufacturer determines the quality of your product and the speed with which you can bring products into the market. Here are some factors to look out for when choosing a manufacturing partner.
Ease of doing business with them
When shopping around for a manufacturing partner, it is important to find one that makes working with them a hassle-free process. Ease of doing business can be a metric that measures how much a business values its clients. It also shows that a lot of thought goes into designing their processes, which is a sign of professionalism and competence. In particular, look out for manufacturers that allow you to order and upload your design(s) on safe and reliable online platforms.

Rather than dole out what is, essentially at least to one of the richest companies on the planet a handful of spare change, Facebook set out to purposely undermine one of the most important legal protections Americans have against unwanted robocalls. Today it accomplished that mission.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday issued an opinion that negates decades of work by Congress to shield Americans from the plague of automated phone calls. Specifically, the court chose to accept a narrow view of what constitutes an “autodialer,” also known as an automatic telephone dialing system (ATDS), under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). The court’s interpretation effectively limits that definition to only systems that target sequentially or randomly dialed numbers.

April 1, 2021 / 3:34 PM / AP Tech CEOs questioned on social media misinformation
The high court s ruling for the Menlo Park, California-based social media giant was unanimous.
The case was brought by a man who received text messages from Facebook notifying him that an attempt had been made to log in to his account from a new device or browser. The man, Noah Duguid, said he never had a Facebook account and never gave Facebook his phone number. When he was unable to stop the notifications, he filed a class action lawsuit.
The court case had to do with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, a 1991 law that bars abusive telemarketing practices. The law restricts calls made using an automatic telephone dialing system, a device that can store or produce telephone numbers to be called, using a random or sequential number generator and then call that number.
