  • BMW has been testing a hydrogen prototype, iX5 hydrogen, with success
  • Here's what we know
  1. It's an alternative energy vehicle in addition to an EV
  2. It can fill-up with hydrogen at a speed comparable to a gas fill-up
  3. The range remains close to the same no matter what the temperature
  4. Using AC doesn't affect the range
  5. BMW, through its partnership with Toyota, plans to mass produce fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) by 2030
  6. BMW is also exploring EVs
  7. BMW's iX5 hydrogen underwent testing in hot, humid conditions in the United Arab Emirates and passed
  8. iX5 hydrogen also performed strongly under extreme cold conditions
  • Bottom-line:  BMW's iX5 hydrogen has emerged a competitor in reducing CO2 emissions.

  • Coke has a limited-edition new flavor co-created by AI and humans
  • Here's what we know:
  1. Called Y3000 and is the 1st Coke innovated by AI
  2. Showcases what a coke will taste like in the future
  3. Targeted to pull in younger customers
  4. Co-created by AI and humans
  5. Available with sugar and sugar-free
  6. This is Coke's 7th limited edition flavor
  7. Available in markets globally
  8. Coke says the AI helped it to create the new flavor much more quickly and that the AI creation process resonates with consumers
  9. AI used massive amounts of consumer preference data to create the new Coke
  10. Other beverage companies are also using AI like Beck's, whose new Autonomous beer was created by AI as well as the marketing plan supporting it.

  • NASA scientists have found another Earth that could sustain life
  • Here are the key facts:
  1. It's 120 light years from Earth
  2. NASA thinks that it has all of the key elements to sustain life
  3. Named K2-18b
  4. Likely has oceans
  5. Has hydrogen-rich atmosphere
  6. Also contains carbon molecules
  7. K2-18b is 8.6 times bigger than the Earth
  • NASA's James Webb Space Telescope made the discovery, which raises the possibility that we are not alone in the universe.
