From the October 2021 issue of E&T: new technology for your car, your kitchen, your ears, your adventures and your errands.

Nexar Beam

E&T

Unusually for an affordable GPS dashcam, this boasts free unlimited cloud storage. It records HD footage, GPS tagged for insurance and police. AI and motion-sensing detect collisions, filming them even when parked. And it’s small enough to hide behind the rear-view mirror.

Insta360 Go 2

E&T

A tiny, wearable action cam weighing just 27g. It shoots 1440p high-definition HDR video and comes with a clever charging case that doubles as a tripod and trebles as a remote control. It’s wearable and even comes with a magnetic pendant to attach it to clothes.

£294.99 insta360.com

Urbanista Los Angeles

E&T

The world’s first self-charging, wireless active-noise-cancelling headphones. A solar panel is built into the headband, for a near-infinite run time. It charges indoors and out. Switch between noise-cancelling and ambient-sound mode at the push of a button.

LG InstaView Door-in-Door

E&T

The new InstaView has a bigger window: knock on the door twice to see your fridge contents through the glass. The Door-in-Door further reduces cold air loss because you don’t have to open the whole compartment. The water dispenser boasts UV sterilisation.

Raleigh Stride

E&T

Replace short car journeys to shops and schools with this electric-assist cargo bike, with an 80kg capacity. Or choose the trike and carry up to 100kg. Either way, its motor will help make the ride a breeze, with a range of 30-40 miles.

From £4,395 raleigh.co.uk

Timekettle WT2 Edge

E&T

These wireless earbuds pack an AI with knowledge of 40 languages and 93 dialects, for instant voice translation in both directions, like a digital Babel Fish. You can even lend one bud to someone else and hold a conversation, despite not sharing a language.
