Android Automotive Adds 70+ New Apps, But Only When Parked
Google has announced the addition of over 70 new apps to Android Automotive, significantly enhancing the platforms capabilities. Android Automotive is a standalone, vehicle-integrated operating system that functions independently of a connected smartphone, offering a tablet-like experience within the cars infotainment systemHowever, the new apps come with restrictions that limit their usability. The update includes a wide range of apps across different categories, with notable additions such as the gaming platform Roblox , multiple versions of Chess and Solitaire , and streaming services like CTV News, NBC News, Red Bull TV, F1 TV, and Watcha. These apps primarily cater to entertainment needs, providing content to pass the time while the vehicle is stationary, such as during EV charging or waiting in a parked car. Despite this expansion, there is a critical limitation: the new apps can only be accessed when the vehicle is parked . This restriction is intended to prevent distracted driving and ensure road safety. As a result, users cannot interact with these applications while driving, except for those providing essential navigation and media controls. Additionally, the rollout of these apps is currently limited to select Volvo and Polestar models , though Google has indicated plans for broader availability in the future. Prior to this update, Android Automotive supported fewer than 200 apps, and the recent additions push the total closer to 300. While the expansion marks a significant step forward, the overall app ecosystem remains relatively limited compared to traditional Android devices.

Telangana deputy CM Bhatti bats for states autonomy in education sector
HYDERABAD: Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka criticised the new University Grants Commission (UGC) guidelines, likening it to a system where one is forced to pay the bill in a restaurant without being allowed to choose their meal. Speaking at the National Convention on Higher Education organised in Thiruvananthapuram, Vikramarka said that the Centre, while expecting states to provide funds and run universities, was depriving them of any role in the appointment of vice-chancellors as well as admissions. If this situation is allowed to continue, then the states would be confined to cutting ribbons at the inauguration of buildings, he said sarcastically. Vikramarka said that the education sector was in the concurrent list and it was not the monopoly of the Union government. States should build educational institutions and systems suitable for their people and social setups. There would not be many similarities between any two states, he said and added that no state could provide quality education without autonomy. All states should emphatically convey their opinion on such an important priority subject without merely confining themselves to the discussions alone, he added. When states stand united with a common objective, the Centre must listen. States are not mere administrative units but lifelines for the progress of the country, he added. Right to choose right path Stating that the Telangana government was ready to organise the next conference in Hyderabad, Vikramarka stressed the need to formulate an action plan on behalf of states. States have the right to choose the right path. If the right decision is not taken, states would have to face serious consequences in the future, he cautioned. Special challenges Only states know students aspirations, their pulse and special challenges to be overcome. Delhi cannot run the education sector with a remote control. The Centre should formulate policies in tune with the requirements of states. If it believes in the spirit of federalism, then it should discuss it with the states, he added. Vikramarka also made a PowerPoint presentation, seeking more autonomy for states in education and health sectors. He recalled that in Rajasthan vs Union of India, the Supreme Court noted that India was bound by the federal Constitution. In Kesavananda Bharati vs State of Kerala, the court noted that federalism was the basic feature of the Indian Constitution, he pointed out. Eliminating the role of state governments in the appointment of vice-chancellors and search committees, and amending the eligibility criteria of vice-chancellors were a matter of serious concern, he said Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan, Kerala Higher Education Minister R Bindu, Karnataka Minister for Higher Education MC Sudhakar, Tamil Nadu Minister for Higher Education of TG Chezhian, Punjab education minister Harjot Singh Bains and prominent educationists attended the convention.

DJI's RS4 Mini stabilizer can now track subjects automatically
Shortly after introducing subject tracking with its latest smartphone gimbal , DJI has done the same with its new lightweight camera gimbal. The RS4 Mini is now available with DJI's RS Intelligent Tracking Module to keep a human subject in frame and also offers the latest features from its flagship RS4 gimbals like auto-axis locks and 4th-gen stabilization. The RS4 Mini is a major redesign from the previous RS3 Mini and is slightly heavier (2 pounds compared to 1.8 pounds) to accommodate some of the new features. It boasts the same 4.4 pound payload as before, meaning it can carry nearly every mirrorless camera on the market and many lightweight cinema cameras to boot. DJI An important new feature for ease of use is the addition of automatic axis locks absent on the previous model. And in fact, the RS4 Mini is the first of DJI's gimbals to use 2nd-Gen axis lock tech that can unlock the gimbal in just one second. It also has DJI's 3rd-Gen Native Vertical Switch that that offers the fastest switch experience to date in the RS series. Another new addition is Teflon interlayers and a fine tuning knob that allows more precise millimeter balancing when installing a camera. DJI also introduced a new Responsive mode (alongside the regular Smooth mode) that allows the gimbal to react better to fast hand movements. DJI For solo vloggers, the coolest new feature is the DJI RS Intelligent Tracking Module (included in the RS 4 Mini Combo), that's much like the Multifunctional Module on the Osmo Mobile 7P gimbal, minus the fill light. When attached to the gimbal, the tiny device enables ActiveTrack on any phone or camera, keeping a human subject in frame within 33 feet. Tracking can be enabled with a pull of the trigger or an open palm visual command. The RS 4 Mini also has DJI's latest 4th-Gen Stabilization that strikes a better balance between stabilization strength and tactile feel, promising an enhanced user experience and improved stability for vertical shooting. Other improvements include 30 percent better battery life (now up to 13 hours) and charging speeds, a next-gen RS Briefcase Handle and a quick-release magnetic mount. The RS4 Mini is now available for $369 by itself or $459 in the Combo package, which includes the RS Intelligent Tracking Module and RS Briefcase Handle.

WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump has said if Elon Musk's Tesla built a factory in India to avoid that country's tariffs, it would be unfair to the US. Trump's comments came amid moves by him to increase tariffs significantly. On February 13, hours before Prime Minister Narendra Modi's bilateral meeting with Trump at the White House, the US President announced reciprocal tariffs. Trump in a recent interview with Fox News ' Sean Hannity said during their meeting he told Prime Minister Modi that India charges the highest tariffs in the world. Trump said it is impossible for Musk to sell a car in India. Every country in the world takes advantage of us, and they do it with tariffs... It is impossible to sell a car, practically, in, as an example, India, he said. ..If he (Musk) built the factory in India, that's okay, but that's unfair to us. It's very unfair, Trump said in the interview. Musk, who heads the Department of Government Efficiency, was also present during the interview. A few days back, electric carmaker Tesla opened recruitment for various roles in India, including business operations analyst and customer support specialist. The move is viewed as a sign of the company's entry into the country. As per the job postings on the company's website, the posts are for the 'Mumbai Suburban' area. Trump during the interview said he discussed the issue of tariffs with Modi: I told Prime Minister Modi yesterday - he was here - I said, 'Here's what we're going to do: reciprocal. Whatever you charge, I'm charging.' He (Modi) goes, 'No, no, I don't like that.' 'No, no, whatever you charge, I'm going to charge.' I'm doing that with every country. Musk said, It's 100 per cent - auto imports are 100 per cent. Here's what we're going to do: reciprocal. Whatever you charge, I'm charging, Trump said. Musk replied by saying, It seems fair. Nobody can argue with me, President Trump insisted. If I said 25 per cent, they'd say, 'Oh, that's terrible.' I don't say that anymore... because I say, 'Whatever they charge, we'll charge.'

Trump plans to impose 25 percent tariffs on automobile and semiconductor imports
The US government could impose hefty tariffs on automobile, chip and pharmaceutical imports. According to Reuters and CBS News , President Donald Trump told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate that the tariffs on auto imports, specifically, will be in the neighborhood of 25 percent and that he'll reveal more details about them on April 2. That's the day he's bound to get reports from members of his cabinet outlining options on duties for different imports across industries. When the president was asked how he could ensure that the European Union wouldn't retaliate by imposing the same levies on US imports, the president reportedly reiterated that the bloc signaled it would lower tariffs on US cars. During the press briefing, the president also said that he's imposing similar tariffs on imported semiconductors and pharmaceutical goods. He said the government could collect 25 percent in taxes, or higher, for those imports and that they will go very substantially higher over course of a year. It doesn't sound like the president will announce new taxes on chip and pharmaceutical imports in April, though. He said he wants to give companies in those industries a little bit of chance to build factories in the US so that they can avoid the new tariffs. To note, Reuters previously reported that the US government is looking to renegotiate the CHIPS and Science Act deals closed by the Biden administration. The program seeks to give semiconductor manufacturing a boost in the US by awarding grants to companies building foundries on US soil. But Trump previously criticized the initiative and argued that increasing tariffs would compel chip companies to build factories in the US without the government having to shell out any money. Trump admitted that prices could go up in the US due to the higher tariffs on foreign goods, but the president believes it'll only be a short-term problem and that they will benefit the country's economy in the future.
