Automotive Update: Tesla's Robotaxi Push & Mazda's Green Shift.

Tesla is actively seeking certification in Arizona for its autonomous ride-sharing service, with a decision anticipated by late July. This follows a limited test launch in Austin, Texas. If approved, the robotaxi service aims to reduce congestion, enhance safety, and redefine car ownership.

Meanwhile, Mazda has unveiled its redesigned CX-5. While the initial 2026 model will feature a 2.5-liter gasoline engine, a new hybrid variant is confirmed for the 2027 model year. This move addresses growing demand for green technology, promising reduced emissions, improved fuel efficiency, and sustainable performance while retaining Mazda's signature driving dynamics.
