Provided it works, people will be able to order food, change the temperature in the cabin, roll down the windows, and more without taking their hands off the wheel. Nice. Hmm? When's it coming? Well, LG hasn't said yet. Sorry to get your hopes up. 3. PS5 Beta Adds 1440p Resolution, Social Fixes, and More Sony's latest beta for the still hard-to-find PS5 is testing out several new features.

We know you want to. 🎥 Behind the Scenes Think Netflix gets the message? Netflix has been having a bad time lately, as proven by the recent reveal that the streaming service lost ~1 million subscribers earlier this year. That's... not insignificant, and maybe a clear sign that people aren't satisfied with it. 🗞 Extra! Extra! We've got you covered with the best in daily tech news!
