Nissan has presented a prototype based upon its Leaf model. It consists of an emergency vehicle capable of sharing the electricity produced by its batteries to offer aid in case of an unforeseen event.

This 100% electric car works in short as a mobile power supply that allows emergency services to function in case of extreme weather or natural disaster. Indeed, when an earthquake or a hurricane strikes, the delay to restore electric power can last for 24 to 48 hours, depending on the severity of the damage.

PARIS — Google plans to invest $1 billion on partnerships with news publishers worldwide to develop a “Showcase” app to highlight their reporting packages, CEO Sundar Pichai said in a statement Thursday.

“This financial commitment — our biggest to date — will pay publishers to create and curate high-quality content for a different kind of online news experience,” Pichai said.
