AI Edits WordPress, Ford Fights Physics, Foldables Loom

WordPress is rolling out a new AI assistant that will allow users to edit their websites using prompts, while Ford is working to make affordable electric vehicles, and a Vermont-based startup has announced a new upgrade kit that adds a remotely triggered backup camera cleaner to your car. These are just some of the latest developments in the tech world, as reported by The Verge and Ars Technica.

Starting Tuesday, WordPress users can utilize the new AI assistant built into the platform's site editor and media library, according to The Verge. The AI assistant, which is opt-in, features a sidebar where users can request edits, translations, image generation, and site reorganization.

Meanwhile, Ford is facing the challenge of making electric vehicles affordable. The automaker's EV skunkworks team is using "bounties to guide engineering decisions that track gains in battery range and reductions in cost," as reported by The Verge. This effort is part of a larger push to overcome the physical and financial hurdles of EV production.

In other tech news, a Vermont-based startup has introduced the Lens Lizard, an aftermarket upgrade kit designed to keep car backup cameras clean. The system is installed using existing license plate screw holes and offers a remotely triggered cleaning function. "The Lens Lizard system might seem like an unnecessary luxury," noted The Verge.

Additionally, a recent survey by CloudBolt Software revealed that many VMware users are still actively reducing their VMware footprint more than two years after Broadcom's takeover. The report, "The Mass Exodus That Never Was: The Squeeze Is Just Beginning," surveyed 302 IT decision-makers at North American companies with at least 1,000 employees. The survey found that customers are grappling with higher prices, uncertainty, and the challenges of reducing vendor lock-in, according to Ars Technica.

Finally, the concept of foldable phones potentially replacing laptops was discussed on The Vergecast. The idea is that phones have the computing power, apps, and data access of a laptop, but the screen size is the main limitation.
