Terwijl Nederland wachtte op de exitpolls, zat de échte spanning vandaag op de beursvloer. Beleggers stuwden één bedrijf naar een recordwaarde: Nvidia. De chipmaker tikte als eerste in de geschiedenis een beurswaarde van 5000 miljard dollar aan. Wat kun je eigenlijk met dat bedrag? Rens en Jochem rekenden het uit. Spoiler: je kan de aarde rond met een treintje van de nieuwste Ferrari Testarossa Spiders. Het record van Nvidia komt trouwens niet uit de lucht vallen. De chipgigant profiteert van een spervuur aan deals: van samenwerkingen met Nokia tot een partnership met farmareus Eli Lilly. Zelfs Donald Trump mengde zich in het feestgedruis. Hij is trots dat Nvidia’s snelste chips nu in Arizona gemaakt gaan worden in plaats van in Taiwan. De vraag is natuurlijk wel: hoe lang kan dit groeiverhaal nog doorgaan? Op het Damrak was een glansrol weggelegd voor Adyen. Het betaalbedrijf steeg met 5 procent na sterke kwartaalcijfers. De omzet groeide met 20 procent naar bijna 600 miljoen euro, en door de systemen van Adyen stroomde in drie maanden tijd 350 miljard euro. Bedenk je even: per jaar gaat er meer door de systemen van Adyen dan door de Nederlandse economie. Vooral het onderdeel Unified Commerce, dat online en fysieke betalingen samenbrengt, maakte indruk met 32 procent groei. Ook ASM kwam met cijfers. De chipmachinefabrikant zag het aantal orders uit China dalen, maar hield de vooruitzichten positief. De top van het bedrijf verwacht de komende jaren stevige groei dankzij de vraag naar AI- en geheugenchips. Maar daar moet je wel even op wachten. Pas op de lange termijn belooft ASM cadeautjes voor beleggers: een verdubbeling van omzet en kasstroom richting 2030. En alsof dat nog niet genoeg was, dook er ook een nieuwe uitdager op voor ASML én TSMC: de Amerikaanse start-up Substrate, gesteund door investeerder Peter Thiel. Het bedrijf zegt een compleet nieuwe manier te hebben ontwikkeld om chips te maken. Beter, sneller en goedkoper. Of dat echt zo is, of dat de bollebozen bij ASML hun schouders ophalen, blijft nog even de vraag. Maar de techstrijd is nog lang niet gestreden.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

¡Todo el mundo habla de las marcas chinas! Y pocos las conocen. Si te hablan de Audi, BMW, Mazda, Renault o Toyota, por citar solo algunas, más o menos, sabrías “de que van” y las conoces… ¿Y si te hablo de Aywais, BAIC, BYD, Jaecoo, Nio, Omoda o XPeng, por citar solo algunas? ¿Sabes algo de estás marcas? Es probable que no. Vamos a proporcionaros un mapa claro de este laberinto …para que no os perdáis. Este video lo hemos trabajado mucho todo el equipo… y es que para entender el fenómeno chino hay que olvidar ideas preconcebidas y hay que pensar en tres tipos de especies que conviven en un ecosistema feroz. Primero, los gigantes estatales como SAIC o Chery, mastodontes industriales que crecieron al amparo del gobierno y de sus alianzas con fabricantes occidentales. Segundo, los imperios privados como Geely o BYD, creados por empresarios visionarios, que son más ágiles y tienen una ambición global voraz. Y tercero y último, las startups tecnológicas como NIO o XPeng, nacidas en la era del software y con la vista puesta en destronar a Tesla. La estrategia del gobierno chino fue clara: dominar la tecnología de baterías mientras Europa debatía sobre plazos y normativas. El resultado es que han lanzado una ofensiva global con el coche eléctrico como punta de lanza. Su desembarco ya es una realidad: en España, su cuota de mercado en 2025 se acerca peligrosamente al 10 por ciento, casi el doble que en 2024 que fue del 4,2 por ciento... Ahora, conozcamos a algunos de los actores de esta historia con algunos ejemplos de sus productos con valoraciones. Y digo algunos… porque, a día de hoy, es casi imposible hacer un vídeo con todas las marcas chinas que existen. Creo que hemos hecho una buena selección con las más relevantes. CAPITULO 1: AIWAYS EL PIONERO CON DIFICULTADES. Aiways merece una mención por ser uno de los primeros en atreverse a desembarcar en Europa, allá por 2020. A pesar de tener un producto correcto, les ha faltado el músculo financiero y la capacidad de marketing para hacerse un hueco en el mercado. Abrieron el camino, pero corren el riesgo de ser arrollados por los gigantes que vienen detrás. CAPÍTULO 2: BAIC, EL GIGANTE A LA SOMBRA DE MERCEDES. BAIC es un coloso estatal, socio de Mercedes-Benz y Hyundai en China y uno de los mayores accionistas de la propia Mercedes. CAPÍTULO 3: BYD, EL GIGANTE DE LAS BATERÍAS. BYD siglas de "Build Your Dreams" infunde respeto Este gigante privado, que empezó fabricando baterías para móviles, es hoy el mayor productor de vehículos electrificados del mundo. CAPÍTULO 4. CHERY, EL EXPORTADOR REINVENTADO. Chery es un gigante estatal con un pasado complicado, manchado por acusaciones de copias de baja calidad. Pero han aprendido la lección. CAPÍTULO 5: GEELY GROUP, EL IMPERIO ESTRATÉGICO. Geely no es una marca. Ni tampoco una empresa… es un imperio. Este conglomerado privado, dirigido por el brillante estratega Li Shufu. Son dueños de Volvo, Polestar y Lotus, y socios al 50 por ciento de Mercedes-Benz en Smart. Esta jugada les da acceso a muy buena ingeniería y diseño, que luego aplican a sus propias marcas globales. CAPÍTULO 6: GREAT WALL MOTOR, EL ESPECIALISTA EN SUVs. GWM es otro gran fabricante privado, históricamente especializado en SUVs y pick-ups. Su ofensiva se basa en dos pilares. Por un lado, Ora, con coches eléctricos de diseño neoretro muy llamativos y por otro, Wey, su marca premium enfocada en híbridos enchufables de gran lujo. CAPÍTULO 7: NIO & XPENG, VANGUARDIA TECNOLÓGICA. Estas dos startups representan la cara más tecnológica de China. Para muchos son los coches chinos 2.0. No compiten por precio, sino por innovación y por ser la "alternativa a Tesla". CAPÍTULO 8: SAIC MOTOR Y EL FENÓMENO MG. SAIC es el mayor fabricante estatal de China, socio histórico de Volkswagen y General Motors. Compró los restos de la mítica marca británica MG. CAPÍTULO 9. XIAOMI, DE LA ELECTRÓNICA DE CONSUMO... … a los coches. Gigantes de la tecnología como Google o Apple han tenido malas experiencias intentando hacer coches. Pero en China, Xiaomi ha empezado con éxito. CAPÍTULO 10: LEAPMOTOR, SOCIO DE ESTELLANTIS. Stellantis adquirió en 2023 el 20 por ciento de la joven marca china.
Auburn native, former Tim Cook Scholar and doctoral student Deena Sayegh chose to study industrial and systems engineering because she has a passion for efficiency in every workplace and believes that industrial engineering can be applied to any environment. You're welcome, Mercedes-Benz!
Hvilken model fortæller præcist, hvad Mercedes-Benz er og står for?Det er ikke nødvendigvis den dyreste, hurtigste eller mest kendte bil fra Mercedes-Benz, men den model, der har stiller med mest Sindelfingen-DNA. For at finde svaret på dette auto-eksistentialistiske spørgsmål har fire inkarnerede bilsnobber sat hinanden stævne i studiet:Erich Karsholt, der om nogen er forbundet med stjernerne fra Stuttgart. Ikke mindst fordi han i en halv menneskealder som reklamemand har været pennefører for Mercedes' markedsføring i Danmark. Han kører i dag i en elektrisk EQE, men heldigvis også en R107.Mikkel Brodin, der lige nu ikke har en Mercedes-Benz, men har haft mange, og solgt flere, går som vanligt meget systematisk til værks med at finde den rette model – og høster også en vis mængde anerkendelse for sit vovede valg, selv om Adam er lidt efter ham.Adam Estrup, podcastens åndeligt suverænt ældste deltager, viser med sit bud på indbegrebet af Mercedes-Benz, at han i virkeligheden nok er endnu ældre end han lader syne. Farvevalget vil ingen dog underkende. Han har kun haft tre Mercedes-Benz i sit liv og er derfor lidt udfordret. Stefan Kaas, podcastens vært, har naturligvis egne stærke meninger om mærkets DNA – og proklamerer allerede fra starten, at hans bil vinder. I denne udgave af Bilsnobberne er han dog sikker på, at han bliver udsat for aldersdiskrimination. Lyt med og find ud af, hvilken bilsnobs model, der vinder. Og lad os høre hvad dit bud på den bedste Mercedes-Benz er? Husk farvekombinationen. Den er meget vigtig! Og igen en stor tak til Bjørn, John og Andrew for at lade os låne 'Indbegrebet af' titlen fra deres meget anbefalelsesværdige podcast om musik.

Full transcript Watch this interview on YouTube — "I would argue, in the C-Suite, there's not a job that has expanded, shifted, evolved more so than the CMO's role, more so than a marketer's role," says Melody Lee, CMO of Mercedes-Benz USA. "We are now responsible not for marketing as tactics, but marketing as a growth strategy for a company, for a brand."Melody carries what she calls "a burden of responsibility," a privilege and a challenge to ensure Mercedes-Benz continues to live up to its 140-year old legacy. She says marketers have to elevate their role internally — ensuring colleagues understand how marketing influences and drives business forward — while also protecting the intangible value that makes luxury brands worth their premium.Today on Building Better CMOs, Melody and Marketing + Media Alliance CEO Greg Stuart discuss the evolving role of the CMO, why diversity of thought creates the best-performing teams, and why the best leaders focus on making the people around them successful. They also explore the unique challenges of luxury brand marketing, the importance of measurement that drives better decisions, and why Mercedes-Benz approaches AI innovation with both ambition and caution as it introduces next-generation vehicles.

Our 250th episode! For over 5 years, we've been the No.1 podcast for automotive sales and management training. In total, we've delivered 5 days, 3 hours, 55 minutes and 33 seconds of advice, news and stories from some of the biggest names in automotive. Today, we're back for part 2 of my conversation with Chris Cormier, Mercedes-Benz Head of Sales. We're talking about what keeps customers coming back for their 2nd, 3rd and 4th car, and how to lead a veteran team without burning them out. We discuss radical transparency on numbers, a culture of two-way feedback, and “wow” test-drive moments that buyers never forget. We also get honest about AI. Where it helps (data in, insight out), and where humans still win (trust, handovers, accountability). If you're stepping into your first leadership role or looking to get the most out of a seasoned team, this one's a must-listen. Episode highlights: Celebrating a 25-year service award and multi-purchase customer relationships Making performance visible by sharing budgets, weekly results and auction data with the whole team Creating “wow” moments AI in the showroom. Useful for analysis, not a replacement for people (yet) Culture > meetings. Scrapping Monday sales meetings and easing into the week Coaching for loyalty. Star-expert handovers, name-on-the-wall deliveries, and earning forgiveness when hiccups happen Leading without ego. Servant leadership, psychological safety, and inviting constant feedback About Symco Training: Symco Training was founded in 2000 by Simon Bowkett and it was his belief that the business had to offer its clients something different. That difference was clear to Simon from his days in the dealership when he experienced many sales trainers who had all the answers, but were unable, unwilling or both to actually show the delegate how they could be implemented. It remains the ethos of the business today. You see, Symco only employ trainers that are committed to delivering not only in spiring and insightful training, but are equally as happy to demonstrate these skills and techniques with real customers in your own showroom. We believe in order for sales training to be effective and in Simon's words ‘real world', it needs to be tried and tested in the only place it matters the showroom floor. There is no room for theory when your goals are for your team to sell more cars, hours or parts and retain more profit. In dealerships around the world the focus applied by many of the sales executives is to try and sell a deal. Symco specialise in getting your teams to focus on selling themselves, the product and then supporting this with the deal. To find out more visit: www.symcotraining.co.uk

Un 23 de octubre de 1991.- Estreno en España de la película "Tacones lejanos", de Pedro Almodóvar.
https://youtu.be/tK_ARwesoO4 Sandro Castro, nieto de Fidel, expone sin querer la decadencia del castrismo con cada video viral, revelando el colapso del mito revolucionario.Sandro Castro no es un disidente, ni un ideólogo, ni un enemigo del régimen. Es peor: un símbolo vivo de la desconexión entre el discurso oficial cubano y la realidad de su élite. Con sus fiestas, su Mercedes Benz, sus “jugueticos” y bares exclusivos, Sandro encarna el privilegio obsceno dentro de una nación sumida en la escasez.Este video analiza cómo su figura se convierte en una crítica demoledora al relato revolucionario, no por oposición consciente, sino por una ostentación tan brutal como reveladora. A través de sus reels, se desmorona el andamiaje simbólico de un sistema que ya no puede ocultar su podredumbre. El nieto del comandante no denuncia, pero delata. No cree en nada, pero muestra todo. No actúa con cálculo, pero impacta.Desde el caballo hasta la “Cristashhh”, cada gesto de Sandro revela un país partido en dos: el de los que hacen colas eternas y el de los que viven en burbujas de impunidad. Esta sátira involuntaria, grotesca y viral, representa el colapso simbólico de una ideología que se creía eterna.

Mercedes-Benz just made another massive investment in Chinese automotive technology - but once again, NIO is nowhere in the picture. After partnering with ByteDance last week, Mercedes has now acquired shares in Qianli Technology, a Geely-backed company that just filed for a Hong Kong IPO worth billions.In this episode, we break down the Qianli Technology IPO filing, analyze their $3.1 billion revenue structure, and explore why Mercedes is systematically investing in Chinese tech partners while avoiding NIO entirely. We'll cover Qianli's three AI-native solutions (intelligent driving, smart cockpits, and Robotaxi), their relationship with Geely, and what this means for the broader EV landscape.Key Topics Covered:Qianli Technology's Hong Kong IPO filing and financialsMercedes-Benz's 3% stake acquisition in September 2025Why Qianli is burning $400M+ annually on R&DThe genius behind Qianli: Yin Qi from Megvii (worth $1.4B)Geely's deep integration with Qianli (50% of procurement)Mercedes' desperate strategy in China (sales down 19% in Q2 2025)Why Mercedes chose ByteDance and Qianli over NIOWhat this pattern means for NIO's future strategyThe Chinese tech ecosystem's dominance in automotive AIThis is a continuation of our Mercedes-ByteDance discussion, examining the bigger pattern of legacy automakers buying their way into Chinese innovation.

Just Shoot It: A Podcast about Filmmaking, Screenwriting and Directing
Maya ‘Mayachka' Margolina https://mayachka.com/ talks about her work with luxury brands like Coach, Rihanna's Fenty, Mercedes Benz, and MCM and how she craft treatments that get her work. And she reveals her own struggle to avoid being derivative while acknowledging that everything is derivative, at least somehow. In this episode, Oren and Matt unpack how Maya's unique cinematic form gets audiences to perceive brands in ways they never imagined. You might call it bridging the gap between a brand and a part of you brain that's from a completely different galaxy. And though her unique perspective is mind-bending, much of her method is grounded in the same framework Matt and Oren have used in their comedy-focused work. You'll see similar beats with a familiar thought process and the same discovery call, but coming together in a completely different art form. And Maya discusses the details of working with movement directors and music supervisors as well as her interpretation of camera motion, pop culture memes, and getting the best performance from models and celebrities. Honest question. Are you someone who would never call something "hot"? Then this is the down to earth story of how to direct commercials for luxury brands that you've been wanting to hear!

Send us a text In this episode, we turn up the volume on Pearl, the final and most defining album of Janis Joplin's remarkable career. Released just months after her death in 1970, Pearl captures both the wild, unfiltered energy and the heartbreaking vulnerability that made Janis a once-in-a-generation voice. We explore how she poured her soul into songs like “Cry Baby,” “Mercedes Benz,” and “Me and Bobby McGee,” crafting a record that feels both triumphant and tragically final.Support the showBrowse the 33/24 Archives: Check out the backroom!

In the heart of Beverly Hills, just after a red-carpet movie premiere, the life of Ronni Chasen, one of Hollywood's most connected and beloved publicists, came to a violent and mysterious end. On November 16, 2010, the 64-year-old was gunned down in her Mercedes-Benz while stopped at a red light. The shocking murder of the woman who helped secure Oscar Gold for films like Driving Miss Daisy and The Hurt Locker instantly made national headlines. Ronni's influential friends quickly offered a combined $125,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. This massive reward signaled that her inner circle wasn't convinced the killing was a random act. A tip to America's Most Wanted led police to Harold Martin Smith, a man with a lengthy criminal record living in a rundown apartment complex. When confronted by detectives, Smith ended his own life with a .38 caliber revolver. The Beverly Hills Police Department officially closed the case in 2011, declaring Smith the sole killer and the motive of a random robbery gone wrong. However, this "solved" status remains highly controversial due to several glaring contradictions: Ronni's purse was untouched and nothing was taken, contradicting the robbery motive. Police claimed Smith was on a bicycle, but her autopsy report suggests an unknown vehicle pulled up beside her car. The ballistic evidence was inconclusive; documents revealed the findings were "insufficient for an identification" to definitively match the bullet to Smith's gun. Law enforcement was criticized for failing to interview multiple residents and for poor evidence collection. Thank you to this week's sponsors!

This Day in Legal History: John Marshall Harlan DiesOn October 14, 1911, Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan I died, closing the chapter on one of the Court's most powerful voices of dissent. Appointed in 1877 by President Rutherford B. Hayes, Harlan served for 34 years and left an indelible mark on constitutional law—not through majority opinions, but through unwavering dissents that often read as moral indictments of the Court's direction.Most famously, Harlan stood alone in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), rejecting the Court's embrace of “separate but equal” and warning that the Constitution is “color-blind.” At a time when the legal system was ratifying segregation, Harlan insisted that racial classifications violated both the spirit and letter of the Fourteenth Amendment. His lone dissent—widely criticized at the time—would later become foundational to the Court's reversal in Brown v. Board of Education more than half a century later.But Harlan's commitment to constitutional principles extended beyond race. He defended civil liberties in United States v. E.C. Knight Co., supported expansive readings of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments, and warned against unchecked corporate power. His approach was rooted in a belief that the Reconstruction Amendments were designed not just to end slavery, but to secure full legal equality.Though his views often put him in the minority, time has proven Harlan prophetic. His jurisprudence helped shift the constitutional center of gravity in the 20th century, as future courts took up the causes he championed alone. Remarkably, his grandson, John Marshall Harlan II, would go on to sit on the Court as well, carving out his own legacy in cases like Katz v. United States and Reynolds v. Sims.Justice Harlan I's death marked the loss of a constitutional conscience—one that held firm against the tide of his era. His dissents remain a blueprint for principled judging, reminding us that sometimes the most enduring legal influence comes not from prevailing, but from refusing to go along.In a massive trial that began this week in London's High Court, over 1.6 million claimants are suing several major carmakers—including Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Nissan, Renault, Peugeot, and Citroën—over allegations that they used illegal “defeat devices” to cheat diesel emissions tests. The lawsuit, one of the largest in UK legal history, follows in the wake of Volkswagen's 2015 “dieselgate” scandal and targets vehicles manufactured between 2012 and 2017.Claimants argue that these manufacturers deliberately programmed cars to meet legal nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions standards only under lab testing, while on-the-road emissions were allegedly up to 12 times higher—harming the environment and misleading consumers. They seek compensation for what they claim was a systemic, industry-wide choice to cheat rather than comply with the law.The defendants deny any wrongdoing, rejecting comparisons to VW and maintaining that emissions systems are legally and justifiably calibrated to function differently under certain conditions for technical and safety reasons. A central point of contention is whether the sample vehicles in the case contain prohibited defeat devices.The trial currently focuses on 20 vehicles, but its outcome will set a precedent for nearly 850,000 claims and influence another 800,000 similar suits against other carmakers, including Vauxhall/Opel and BMW. The court's decision on liability is expected by mid-2026, with damages to be determined separately.Carmakers accused in huge UK lawsuits of cheating diesel emissions tests | ReutersVisa and Mastercard have agreed to a $199.5 million settlement to resolve a class action brought by merchants who alleged the companies colluded to shift fraud-related costs onto businesses. Filed in federal court in Brooklyn, the settlement—still awaiting judicial approval—stems from a lawsuit first initiated in 2016, challenging rule changes that made merchants liable for chargebacks when they hadn't upgraded to chip-enabled point-of-sale systems.The plaintiffs argued this policy shift violated antitrust laws, claiming Visa and Mastercard moved in parallel to implement changes that benefited the networks while leaving merchants exposed to fraud losses without any offsetting fee reductions. According to the proposed agreement, Visa will pay $119.7 million and Mastercard will contribute $79.8 million. Discover and American Express, also named in the litigation, previously agreed to a $32.2 million settlement.While all four companies deny wrongdoing, plaintiffs' lawyers praised the deal, saying it recovers around 13% of the best-case damages scenario and over half of a more conservative estimate. Mastercard stated the settlement supports its broader efforts to increase security through technological upgrades, while Visa and the plaintiffs' counsel did not comment.This case is separate from the larger $5 billion settlement Visa and Mastercard reached in 2019 over allegations of fixing credit and debit card fees.Visa, Mastercard agree to $199.5 million settlement in merchants' class action | ReutersFederal courts in California and Alabama recently fined two attorneys thousands of dollars for submitting legal filings that contained fake case citations generated by AI. These sanctions highlight a persistent problem: despite repeated warnings, some lawyers continue to rely uncritically on generative AI tools that produce fictitious case law, a phenomenon known as “hallucination.” Judges in both cases criticized the attorneys for failing to verify the AI-generated content, calling the misconduct more serious than simple oversight.In Alabama, Judge Terry F. Moorer imposed a $5,000 sanction on James A. Johnson, a court-appointed criminal defense attorney, who filed a motion containing fabricated citations. The judge noted that Johnson used a Microsoft Word plugin called Ghostwriter Legal and submitted the motion during a holiday weekend while caring for a relative, but emphasized that such explanations do not excuse the lack of basic diligence. Johnson must now disclose the sanctions order in all cases he handles for the next year, and his client—visibly upset in court—requested new counsel, delaying the case.In California, Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín fined attorney Edward A. Quesada $1,000 after his civil filing contained at least three false citations. Quesada admitted he had run out of time and may have accidentally copied one fake citation from an AI-generated web summary. He was also ordered to complete a CLE course on responsible AI use, with the judge citing his failure to stay informed about relevant legal technologies as a violation of professional conduct rules.Fake AI Citations Produce Fines for California, Alabama LawyersIn my column for Bloomberg this week, I examine the property rights implications at the heart of Pung v. Isabella County, a case the US Supreme Court has agreed to hear. I argue that when the government seizes and sells property for unpaid taxes, “just compensation” shouldn't be defined by whatever price the property fetches at a government-run auction. That process—entirely designed and controlled by local officials—often prioritizes administrative efficiency over fair market value, turning tax sales into what I describe as “clearance rack” events.The problem is structural. Local treasurers are incentivized to close the books quickly rather than ensure former owners recover equity. That means the government may undersell a home, pay itself the back taxes, and call it a day—leaving the former owner uncompensated for the true value of what they lost. Worse, when courts treat the auction price as constitutionally adequate, they allow the taker to set the value of what it took.I draw a comparison to Tyler v. Hennepin County, where the Court ruled the government can't pocket surplus proceeds from a tax sale. Pung asks the natural follow-up: what rules apply when determining how much surplus exists? If courts accept fire-sale auction prices as “just compensation,” they effectively endorse an end-run around the Fifth Amendment.As a compromise, I propose a clear rule: auction prices should only be presumed fair if they fall within 10% of an appraised value. Outside that range, the burden should shift to the government to prove the sale was legitimate. After all, if local governments want the legitimacy of a market sale, they need to run a sale that looks like one. Otherwise, taxpayers are left holding the bag—punished not for failing to pay taxes, but for the government's indifference to recovering real value from their property. This is a public episode.

What happens when the future of teamwork collides with the power of AI? That's the question at the heart of this episode as Tiffany from Atlassian joins me from Barcelona during Team 25, where Atlassian is showcasing how AI-powered collaboration is redefining how work gets done. We talk about how Atlassian's mission to unleash the potential of every team is coming to life through its bold decisions, from sunsetting data center products to expanding its multi-cloud partnerships with Google. Tiffany offers a front-row view of how Atlassian's evolving cloud platform is designed to help customers work smarter while enabling secure, scalable innovation across some of the world's most complex enterprises. The conversation also uncovers the thinking behind the teamwork graph, Atlassian's powerful data intelligence layer that connects billions of work objects to create truly personalized AI experiences. Tiffany shares how companies like Royal Caribbean and Mercedes-Benz are already seeing measurable performance gains and how AI is becoming a real teammate that unifies knowledge, connects tools, and drives better outcomes. We discuss what it means to build a “system of work,” why flexibility and context matter, and how Atlassian's open approach allows teams to build custom systems tailored to their own culture and workflows. Beyond the technology, this is a story about continuous learning, adaptability, and human-centered progress. Tiffany's reflections on learning from the toughest customers, embracing change, and reimagining the browser as an active workspace reveal how Atlassian is blending AI with empathy and purpose. As AI becomes inseparable from teamwork, what steps will you take to unleash what your team can do next? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Weclcome back to EV News Daily, and welcome to our new series where we go deep into one particular EV, called The Spec Sheet. And today it's the turn of the Mercedes-Benz GLC with EQ Technology—a vehicle that represents a significant jump forward for Stuttgart's approach to electric mobility. Unlike previous EQ models that carried distinct names and styling, this GLC shares its nameplate with the combustion-powered version while riding on an entirely different platform purpose-built for electric drive. This marks Mercedes' previously announced departure from the standalone EQ brand identity toward a unified approach where electric and internal combustion variants coexist under familiar model names. Stay tuned to discover: · How Mercedes' new MB.EA platform architecture delivers both efficiency and performance · The technical innovations behind the GLC's 443-mile WLTP range capability · Why this model represents the centerpiece of Mercedes' largest product offensive in company history The GLC holds particular significance as Mercedes-Benz's global best-selling model. By electrifying this cornerstone SUV, the company is making a clear statement about its electric future while maintaining design continuity that existing customers will instantly recognize. And more importantly for a brand which saw pushback from S-Class and E-Class buyers towards the change in direction with the EQS and EQE respectively, Mercedes-Benz will hope this is an easier sell to their fans.
