Photography began with a pinhole, which was used to project a world that had previously only been drawn or painted. The problem was that the image arrived upside down and reversed. Mirrors and glass refined the art, and eventually, we got things pointed in the right direction. And now, here comes the Polestar 4, replacing the rear window with a roof-mounted camera and a digital rearview mirror to stir up some drama.

Rice is best known as one of the world's most important food crops, but scientists have now shown it could also help inspire a new generation of smart materials.
Researchers discovered that packed rice grains behave in an unusual way under pressure. When compressed slowly, the grains remain relatively strong. But when squeezed quickly, they actually become weaker. This surprising behavior has allowed scientists to create a new material that could one day be used in soft robots that automatically adjust their stiffness and protective equipment that responds differently depending on the force of an impact.

It used to be that all such cars were outfitted sparely and priced inexpensively, but most of them have evolved upmarket over the years to suit the tastes of their growing customer base. In the meantime, the demand for truly entry-level machines has remained strong, so a fresh brood of econoboxes is rolling into the void left by the upward mobility of the last generation.
