Starting with Sir Jony Ive, who was the Chief Design Officer at Apple Inc for over 20 years. (Connections to Apple are never a bad thing..)
Electric vehicle maker Lucid Motors Inc. is in talks to go public through a merger with one of Michael Klein’s special purpose acquisition companies - Churchill Capital IV, according to Bloomberg.
Lucid was founded in 2007 and originally focused on building electric vehicle batteries and powertrains for other vehicle manufacturers.
In October 2016, Lucid announced its intent to develop an all-electric, high-performance luxury vehicle - the air.
The investment will fund the final engineering and testing of the Lucid Air and the commercial production of the Lucid Air as well as Lucid's worldwide retail strategy.
AutoCar describes the Air is the 'fastest and most aerodynamic fully-electric sedan'.
A full charge takes 20 minutes, making the Air “The fastest-charging EV ever”.
Lucid is a battery expert and designed, developed, manufactured and supplied batteries for all race teams in the 2019–20 Formula E season.
There are five radar units and a long-range, forward-facing Lidar that maps the three-dimensional space ahead of the car. Lucid tech allows the air to have higher level autonomy than a Tesla.
Alexa will allowing drivers to use the voice assistant for navigation, phone calls, media streaming, smart home control, and other activities while driving.
Lucid will start producing up to 30,000 vehicles per year at the plant in 2021, with plans to ramp up capacity to 400,000 units annually

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho
There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.
Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.
Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.
The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.

Be aware, the images the #farright are sharing in the hopes of starting a race war, are not of the SPAR employee that was punched. They\u2019re older photos of a Everton fan. Be aware of the information you\u2019re sharing and that it may be false. Always #factcheck #GeorgeNkencho pic.twitter.com/4c9w4CMk5h
