"Tesla's NACS Charging Standard Gains Industry Support, Including from Rivals and Other Players"

Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) is gaining traction as Volvo, Ford, GM, and Rivian adopt the technology, making it a potential industry standard. However, the Biden administration has been advocating for the Combined Charging System (CCS) plugs favored by European automakers. The existence of two competing standards poses challenges for achieving a convenient and universal charging infrastructure. While NACS offers advantages such as smaller size and higher power, the transition to a single industry standard may take time. The involvement of standards organizations like SAE International adds complexity and could lead to higher costs for manufacturers and consumers.

Apple and Google join forces to combat AirTag stalking.

Apple and Google have submitted a proposal to set standards for combating secret surveillance on Bluetooth devices, including AirTags, which have been used for stalking. The proposal has the backing of Samsung and makers of similar tracking products. The companies hope to have a plan in place by the end of the year, which would be distributed through software updates to iPhones and Android phones. The draft is open to comment for the next three months. The new industry standard is expected to help protect survivors of abusive relationships and other people that have been targets of stealth technology.
