This is the January 2026 automotive news wrap-up and I can assure you there’s more happening than we’d like. Welcome to the summary of the latest events and some frosty observations.
In today's episode, I look into why China—the pioneers of flush door handles—is banning them starting in 2027 and how this will affect global safety standards. I analyze the "Smartphones on Wheels" report and check if the military is right to fear Chinese cameras and sensors near sensitive facilities. I also discuss Tesla's drastic moves, as they end production of the flagship Model S and Model X to focus on Optimus robots, while paywalling features that were previously free. Finally, a short report from a winter trip in the new Kia EV5 at -15°C and how the Audi RS3 on ice highlights the brilliance of an active differential.
