With the launch of the XUV.e8, an electric version of their well-liked XUV700, Mahindra & Mahindra is preparing to increase the number of electric vehicles in their lineup. The corporation is currently testing prototypes of this new model, which has already been displayed in concept form. Mahindra has submitted for multiple design patents recently, covering the XUV.e8's appearance and interior.The design patents show that the XUV.e8 is very similar to the concept version that was previously presented, according to a report by HT Auto. Notable improvements include a new set of inverted L-shaped LED projector headlamps and a large LED lightbar that runs the length of the front of the car. Due to the lack of an internal combustion engine, the front bumpers have been altered and do not include the conventional grille.According to reports, the XUV.e8's side profile has aerodynamic wheel covers designed to improve air flow efficiency. The concept's flush-fitting door handles are still on the car. There aren't many modifications at the back, only a new bumper and an LED light bar, however the tail lamps should stay the same. The XUV.e8 will likewise have copper accents, just as the XUV400.Interior design elements, most notably a new two-spoke steering wheel, are also included in Mahindra's design patents. Four toggle switches are located on this hexagonal steering wheel, which has a red stripe at the top for controlling the infotainment system and instrument cluster. The lighted Mahindra emblem on the steering wheel is a novel touch that continues a trend observed in Tata cars. The revamped dashboard, which features a three-screen arrangement evocative of high-end automobile interiors, is another noteworthy interior upgrade. This comprises a passenger-side extra screen, an infotainment display, and an instrument cluster. With these improved technology features and style cues, Mahindra's electric vehicle portfolio is expected to gain something special with the XUV.e8.

India launches its air taxi plan, with plans to launch in 2026 and have fares only marginally more than Uber's.
As had been planned for some time, the aviation ministry launched the urban air mobility project by forming many technical committees to prepare the ground for the launch of India's first air taxi in 2026.Narendra Modi has shown a great deal of enthusiasm in the initiative; the majority of pollsters believe he will return to power with a bang tomorrow.According to a June 3 ToI article, the committees established by the DGCA will determine how air taxis would be introduced across the country by 2026, with Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi-NCR leading the way. According to Saurabh Sinha's story in The Indian Express, there are intentions to grow to places like Chennai and Hyderabad in the future.India would be ahead of the curve in terms of regulatory readiness for eVTOL services for urban air mobility, according to sources mentioned in the study.Regarding the program's implementation in India, an Archer team has already visited with aviation officials there. For this project, InterGlobe Enterprises (IGE) communicates with the regulator on a regular basis. Rahul Bhatia, the CEO of IGE, has ordered 200 Midnight air taxis from Archer for a total estimated cost of $1 billion. Next year, Archer plans to launch in the US, with New York and Chicago as its initial locations. After that, they intend to launch air taxis in the United Arab Emirates and India.According to Bhatia, urban air mobility will significantly reduce the issue of traffic in Indian cities. "What mobile telephony did to India (for communications in the mid-1980s), urban (air) mobility will do the same." They were able to outpace people's communication skills. "This air taxi is not any different and will have a great impact on the nation," he stated.The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has released the final airworthiness standards for Archer's Midnight aircraft for public examination, according to the ToI story.

Bengaluru: No accessible city
Audio announcements at bus stops, Braille signage, color-coded tactile tiles, and ramps. Activists claim that all of these may be implemented with a modest investment.One prominent gap that is replicated around the city is the absence of ramps for patients to walk down following surgery at a reputable eye facility in Bengaluru. Most of the city's deteriorated sidewalks are inaccessible to wheelchair users. Even while signage is rarely present, it is hardly instructive, therefore the hearing challenged have no means to learn anything.
To assist ladies in safety returning home, Cologne provides night taxi vouchers.
Following the example of numerous other German municipalities, the city is offering €10 coupons for women to spend on nighttime taxis.Inspired by similar programs in other parts of Germany, the German city of Cologne is implementing a pilot scheme wherein women are given night taxi coupons to help them get home securely.According to Cologne's city council, 1,500 vouchers worth €10 each are being given to women and persons of different genders for taxi rides between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. as part of the Women's Night Taxi program. The experiment will run until August 2025, and the vouchers can only be used with Taxi Ruf.Since 2020, the city of Munich has provided women with these night taxi tickets; in response to increasing demand, the subsidy was raised this year from €5 to €10. Since then, the idea has been adopted by other cities like Giessen, Mannheim, and Stuttgart. Many German news agencies and social media users have praised these programs, but some have questioned the vouchers' comparatively low worth, considering that nighttime cabs in big cities typically cost much more than €10.In Germany, similar applications and services that support women's safety have been introduced recently. One such service is a hotline that is manned by volunteers who converse with callers while they are traveling and collect their information to provide to the police in the event of an emergency. According to a 2020 public study done for the nation's BKA federal police, over two-thirds of German women are terrified to ride public transportation after dark. Based on a poll of 1,000 women living in Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne, and Munich, research conducted that same year by the non-governmental organization Plan International revealed that 25% of women had been sexually harassed and 5% had been followed, insulted, or threatened while commuting through their cities.

The problem of food security in a world that depends on energy
In its most recent report on climate and development, the World Bank cautions that "addressing food insecurity and energy poverty is central to achieving global stability, but tackling these issues independently is no longer sufficient." Global stability is being negatively impacted by the interconnected problems of food and energy security, which are determining the course of the twenty-first century. Both systems are under attack: while energy systems deal with geopolitical tensions, aging infrastructure, and the gradual shift away from fossil fuels, food production is hampered by climate change, population increase, and inequality. An even bigger problem arises from their interdependence, though, as agriculture—which is essential to humankind—consumes a lot of energy and contributes to climate change. Given that there are several pivotal moments in the world's history, can weNearly 70% of the freshwater resources in the world are used for agriculture, which also contributes more than 20% of greenhouse gas emissions. A vicious cycle of environmental degradation has been brought about by its reliance on fossil fuels for transportation, irrigation, fertilizer production, and mechanization. Global stability is also threatened by this dependence, which leaves food systems vulnerable to fluctuations in energy prices. The livelihoods of 2.5 billion people are at danger due to the continued disruption of agricultural output caused by rising temperatures and unpredictable weather patterns. Nearly 11.8% of people worldwide experienced extreme food insecurity between 2020 and 2023; by 2028, that number is expected to increase to 956 million.
