Public service announcement: don't point your phone camera directly at a lidar sensor. A video recently shared on Reddit demonstrates why. As the camera zooms in on the sensor affixed to the top of a Volvo EX90, a whole galaxy of colorful dots is burned into the image, forming over the exact spot that the flashing light inside the lidar device can be seen. What you're witnessing isn't lens flare or a digital glitch — it's real, physical damage to the camera. And it's permanent. "Lidar lasers

I recently journeyed to Sweden in order to research, write and produce a feature for CNET on why electric cars are great for winter driving. It was a big story, requiring me to travel around multiple parts of Sweden and venture north into the frozen Arctic Circle. As both a journalist and a professional photographer, it was my job to not just tell the story, but to capture it on camera. That meant traveling with just the right equipment and knowing precisely how to use it to get the shots I'd ne

Volvo is expanding its support for Apple’s Car Key platform. The automaker is now rolling out a software update to the Volvo EX30 with support for Car Key.

Volvo has officially launched the ES90, the fully electrified version of its S60 sedan. While the vehicle can technically be considered a sedan, Volvo says it has the "adaptability of a fastback, and the spacious interior and higher ground clearance associated with SUVs." It's the first Volvo EV with an 800-volt system, which promises faster charging times. Since Volvo's 800-volt technology uses lighter components to reduce the vehicle's overall weight, it could also lead to a longer range and b

A tall sedan with an SUV twist, this class-bending vehicle is expected to arrive sometime next year boasting impressive range and wicked-fast charging thanks to its 800-volt EV architecture.

Compared to the EX90 I was also able to take on the ice, the EX30 is more playful and a bit more of a handful. That's thanks to that wheelbase. But it's easy to get into a rhythm whether you have the stability control fully on or are driving in a reduced—but not completely off—setting. If you aren't set up properly for a corner, you'll experience a ton of safe understeer while the traction control tries to make sense of what you're doing. With speeds so low, the fear of death is nonexistent, so
