Volvo recently flew us to Sweden to get behind the wheel of the new electric EX30 and learn how to do the Scandinavian flick on a frozen lake.

The Volvo EX30 is the brand's new subcompact EV SUV, and it's available with a 268-hp rear-drive powertrain or a 422-hp all-wheel-drive setup.

Volvo brought us to the Björnträsket ice track and taught us a technique known as the Scandinavian flick, a.k.a. the pendulum turn.

The EX30 models we drove wore studded Michelin X-Ice North 4 winter tires that provided predictable traction on the ice track, as well as on the region's snow-covered roads.

The multistep maneuver is meant to manipulate a car's momentum to make it rotate around a corner on a slippery surface.

The all-wheel-drive EX30 seemed easier to flick at first, thanks to its heady acceleration and the greater freedom provided by its partially deactivated stability-control system.

While the rear-drive EX30 had a larger learning curve, once we got the drift (pun intended), it was more rewarding to slide around on the ice because it required more skill.

Keep going to check out even more pictures of the Volvo EX30.

Residents say new roundabout with 36 traffic lights is 'ridiculous'
Angry residents have slated a new city centre roundabout with a whopping 36 traffic lights as 'ridiculous' and say it is causing more traffic problems than before. The 'signalised' roundabout on the junction of Milton Road and Elizabeth Way in Cambridge lit up on Tuesday (Oct 8) with a colossal number of lights. The works to put traffic lights up is part of the Milton Road Improvement Scheme which the Great Cambridge Partnership (GCP) said cost £31.9m. However some critics of the new renovations said the sheer amount of lights means traffic queueing for the roundabout is standing still for a long time.

Such cars exist, but how would you feel if you knew that little old lady had passed away just before you bought it? Would it change your mind?

Elon Musk unveils Tesla 'Cybercab' as focus shifts to robo-cars
STORY: Elon Musk made a big entrance late Thursday. He rolled towards the stage at the Warner Bros studios near Los Angeles in a new two-door Tesla which he calls the ‘Cybercab’. The vehicle has no steering wheel or pedals, and is meant to launch robotaxi services. Musk says it will go into production in 2026, priced below $30,000. And he says real self-driving will finally arrive: “So, we’ll move from supervised full self-driving to unsupervised full self-driving, where the car… you could fall asleep and wake up at your destination.”Musk also showcased a larger self-driving vehicle - the Robovan - which can carry up to 20 people. The debuts are all part of his move to rebrand Tesla as a robotics firm, not a mass-market automaker. The company’s humanoid Optimus robot was also on show to hammer home the point. The event sparked huge enthusiasm among fans, with Musk promising thhat owners would be able to make money renting out their cars as cabs. “Your average passenger car is only used about 10 hours a week out of 168 hours. So, the vast majority of the time, cars are just doing nothing. But if they're autonomous, they could be used, I don't know, five times more. Maybe 10 times more.”Some observers were more skeptical, however. One shareholder told Reuters he was disappointed by the lack of a clear timeframe for robotaxi services. Other investors noted a lack of detail on how quickly Tesla can ramp up production, and how it can overcome regulatory worries about safety. The Cybercabs rely on AI and cameras to get around, dispensing with the other sensors - like costly lidar - used by rivals like Alphabet’s Waymo. Experts say that approach significantly cuts costs, but also poses huge technical challenges. Musk also has a history of being overoptimistic on timing - and he said as much at Thursday's event.As early as 2019, he was promising to have robotaxis on the streets by the following year.

Nzonga and hundreds of other passengers, including Associated Press journalists, lined up at the seaport in Goma, eastern Congo’s largest city, getting ready to board a locally made boat bound for Bukavu city on the other side of Lake Kivu, a perilous journey they would rather undertake than travel Congo’s treacherous roads.
