In Pakistan’s sport utility vehicles (SUV) and pickups market, Toyota’s Fortuner GR-S and Revo GR-S stand out as purpose-built vehicles engineered for those who demand performance, utility, and off-road readiness — without compromising on comfort or technology. While SUVs have gained traction among city users, few locally assembled vehicles offer the level of rugged off-road capability that Fortuner GR-S brings to the table. Built on Toyota’s IMV platform, it shares a durable body-on-frame construction ideal for Pakistan’s diverse driving conditions — from urban streets to mountain trails. Top 5 automobile assemblers at Pakistan Stock Exchange as of July 2025 Assembled by Toyota Pakistan, both the Fortuner GR-S and Revo GR-S now come equipped with a Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) — offering drivers a 360-degree view of their surroundings for enhanced maneuverability in tight urban settings and challenging off-road trails. Additionally, the Fortuner GR-S features Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), reinforcing its credentials as one of the premium SUVs built for both adventure and everyday safety. On the connectivity and convenience front, all Revo variants now come with an upgraded 9“ high-definition infotainment display, while both Fortuner and Revo variants benefit from significant system enhancements including wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, NFC pairing, a 3.0A fast-charging USB port, and a faster 3-core processor. These updates bring the cabin experience up to speed with modern tech expectations, ensuring passengers stay connected on the go. Performance roots – GR-S heritage Both models are specially tuned by Toyota Gazoo Racing (GR), the brand’s motorsport division. The GR-S variants feature monotube shock absorbers, refined GR-tuned suspension, and sporty steering calibration — all designed to enhance high-speed stability, off-road grip, and body control. According to auto sector analyst Usman Ansari, Fortuner and Revo GR-S have a distinct edge in the market, thanks to Toyota’s localised assembly, after-sales support, and genuine part availability — unlike imported SUVs and pickups that often lack dealership service and long-term warranty backing. Inside the cabin, the GR-S signature interior includes bucket-style seats, GR embroidery, contrast stitching, and GR branding across the vehicle — giving both vehicles a sporty, premium appeal. For off-road enthusiasts, Fortuner GR-S and Revo GR-S features include a 4x4 system, Rear Differential Lock, Low Range (L4) mode, Hill Start Assist Control, Downhill Assist Control, Limited Slip Differential, and Active Traction Control — making it not just a city vehicle but a complete go-anywhere machine. Here’s how to apply for new Ajrak design number plates online While the Fortuner shares its platform with the Hilux Revo, it is purpose-built as a seven-seat premium SUV, ideal for families or group travelers looking to explore Pakistan’s outdoors in comfort and confidence. Revo GR-S, meanwhile, is more than just a commercial pickup — it is a performance lifestyle truck designed for thrill-seekers, adventurers, and bold personalities. One of Toyota’s long-standing unique selling propositions (USPs) in Pakistan remains its exceptional resale value. Ansari noted that the diesel Fortuner launched in 2018 at Rs6.4 million has more than doubled in value in the used market — a trend the newer and more refined GR-S models are likely to continue.

Apple has started forming a dedicated team to develop a native AI search tool. Internally called an “answer engine,” the system is expected to operate much like ChatGPT or Gemini. It's being created by a group known as AKI, short for Answers, Knowledge and Information. The team’s focus includes improving Siri, refining Spotlight, and making changes to how search works across Safari. The company has yet to release a stand-alone product in this space. Right now, Apple Intelligence can connect with ChatGPT to search the web, but Apple hasn’t built its own chatbot-style system. That absence is beginning to look more noticeable as user behavior changes and the demand for generative tools keeps growing. Earlier hesitation begins to shift A few months ago, Apple had appeared unwilling to commit fully to chatbot-style products. After its OpenAI partnership was announced at WWDC in 2024, company leaders said they didn’t see enough public interest to justify building a similar tool from scratch. But conditions inside the market have changed quickly. Consumer use of AI chat platforms is growing. More people now turn to tools like ChatGPT instead of traditional search engines. Industry data suggests nearly four in ten users are doing this regularly. That shift has also triggered changes inside Apple. Internal teams are being restructured around new AI goals. According to reports, a new cloud chip, code-named Baltra, is being developed to support expanded server-based AI features. It will likely support functions that require more real-time processing, beyond what current devices can handle alone. CEO outlines the company's next priorities At a recent staff meeting, CEO Tim Cook described AI as a major turning point for the company. He compared the impact of AI to earlier shifts such as the rise of smartphones or the growth of cloud platforms. He also said that while Apple hasn't always been first to act, it has often reshaped existing products in a way that redefines how they’re used. Apple’s record includes several cases where the company entered a market late but still managed to change its direction. That approach now appears to be extending to artificial intelligence. Instead of rushing to release early tools, Apple is investing heavily in long-term infrastructure and product design. Hiring, research, and internal pressure Nearly 40 percent of the 12,000 new hires made last year were assigned to research and development roles. Much of that work supports AI. The scale of these hires signals a clear shift in internal priorities. Reports also suggest Apple is open to acquiring smaller companies if that accelerates development or shortens time to market. Other tech companies have taken a more aggressive stance. Some are demanding longer hours and faster output from staff. Public accounts of burnout, high turnover, and internal disputes have become common across AI firms. Apple has so far taken a slower approach, but the pressure to move faster is rising. Features under development and what's next At present, Apple’s AI tools are limited to Apple Intelligence. This system can rewrite content, edit images, create emoji-style visuals, and summarize information. Translation features are planned but haven’t launched yet. The company’s new AKI team may help fill that gap. If successful, the answer engine could give Apple a more complete AI platform, one that doesn't rely on partnerships to deliver search results. Whether this tool ends up inside Siri or becomes a separate product remains unclear, but the company is clearly moving toward greater independence in this area. More features are expected to surface in the coming year. Until then, Apple’s broader AI strategy appears to be focused on regaining control over tools that are now shaping how users search, communicate, and interact with information across all devices.

More employees across different sectors are using generative AI tools to complete tasks. This shift has moved quickly over the past year. Based on new data from McKinsey most industries now report some level of adoption among their workers, though the pace varies by field. Technology and Consulting Are Ahead The technology sector reports the highest share of generative AI use. About 88% of respondents say they use it in at least one part of their job. This includes functions like marketing, sales, and customer-facing content creation. It’s common for teams to rely on AI tools to help write, analyze, or organize materials across digital platforms. Professional services firms are not far behind. About 80% of employees in consulting, legal, and accounting firms use AI tools in some way. Many of these tasks involve research, document processing, and data review. Advanced Manufacturing and Media Use Varies In areas like aerospace, electronics, and semiconductor firms, usage is also high. Around 79% of workers in these fields have used generative AI. Marketing leads the list of functions, but regulatory tasks remain less common for automation. Media and telecom workers show similar adoption levels. These companies often experiment with video, audio, and written content powered by AI systems. While not universal, creative departments tend to use these tools more than technical or legal teams. Retail, Finance, and Health Are Catching Up Consumer-facing companies, like those in retail or packaged goods, show lower but still strong engagement. Around 68% of workers say they’ve used AI in one or more functions. In finance, the figure is close to 65%. Banks and insurers often apply AI in customer support or internal data handling. Healthcare, pharmaceutical, and medical product companies also report adoption at about 63%. In these areas, the use is often tied to administrative tasks, reporting, or patient communication tools. Some Sectors Are Slower Energy and materials companies sit at the lower end of the list. About 59% of their workers say they’ve used generative AI in any part of their role. This includes tasks like operations support or planning, but manual or field work tends to limit usage. Across all industries, some functions remain mostly untouched by generative tools. In particular, workers in manufacturing and supply chain roles report the lowest usage. Only 5% of employees in manufacturing, and 7% in supply chains, said they use AI in their regular tasks. This may reflect the slower integration of automation in hands-on or logistics-heavy environments. A Snapshot of Change, But Still Uneven Overall, the data shows that generative AI is already present in most workplaces, but it’s not evenly spread. Some industries are far ahead, using these tools across multiple teams. Others are still exploring what role it can play. As more companies test new systems, and as tools evolve to handle more types of tasks, the current gaps may shift. For now, though, the areas seeing the most direct use are those where digital workflows, content, or analysis already play a central role. Notes: This post was edited/created using GenAI tools.

Tesla for years had more repeat U.S. customers than any other major automotive brand but its loyalty has plunged since CEO Elon Musk endorsed President Donald Trump last summer, according to data from research firm S&P Global Mobility shared exclusively with Reuters. The data, which has not been previously reported, shows Tesla’s customer loyalty peaked in June 2024, when 73% of Tesla-owning households in the market for a new car bought another Tesla, according to an S&P analysis of vehicle-registration data in all 50 states. That industry-leading brand loyalty rate started to nosedive in July, that data showed, when Musk endorsed Trump following an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania on the Republican nominee. The rate bottomed out at 49.9% last March, just below the industry average, after Musk launched Trump’s budget-slashing Department of Government Efficiency in January and started firing thousands of government workers. Tesla's U.S. loyalty rate has since ticked back up to 57.4% in May, the most recent month the S&P data is available, putting it back above the industry average and about the same as Toyota 7203.T but behind Chevrolet and Ford. S&P analyst Tom Libby called it "unprecedented" to see the runaway leader in customer loyalty fall so quickly to industry-average levels. "I’ve never seen this rapid of a decline in such a short period of time," he said. Tesla and Musk did not respond to requests for comment. On Monday, Tesla granted Musk 96 million shares worth about $29 billion, a move aimed at keeping the billionaire entrepreneur at the helm as he fights a court ruling that voided his original pay deal for being unfair to shareholders. The timing of Tesla's plunging brand loyalty suggests the CEO's involvement in politics turned off customers in the EV pioneer's eco-conscious customer base, some analysts said. "If they have Democratic leanings, then perhaps they consider other brands in addition to Tesla," said Seth Goldstein, an analyst at Morningstar. Tesla's aging model lineup also faces stiffer competition from an array of EVs from legacy automakers including General Motors, Hyundai and BMW. The only new model Tesla has released since 2020, its triangular Cybertruck, has proved a flop despite Musk’s prediction of hundreds of thousands of annual sales. On an April earnings call, Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja singled out "the negative impact of vandalism and unwarranted hostility towards our brand and people," but also said there were "several weeks of lost production" when the company retooled factories to produce a refreshed version of its top-selling Model Y. Musk on the April call said that "absent macro issues, we don't see any reduction in demand." Tesla vehicle sales overall are falling globally and have declined 8% in the United States the first five months of 2025, according to S&P. Sales fell 33% over the first six months of the year in Europe, where public backlash to Musk’s politicking has been particularly fierce. Musk's increased political activism was "very bad timing" for Tesla, said Garrett Nelson, an analyst who tracks the EV maker at CFRA Research, because it came exactly as the company faced heightened competition from Chinese EV makers and other traditional automakers. He said his top concerns for Tesla are its loss of market share and "what can be done to repair the brand damage." Loyalty nosedive Tesla remains the U.S. electric-vehicle sales leader but has seen its dominance erode as Musk last year delved into politics and focused Tesla more on developing self-driving technology than on new affordable models for human drivers. Customer loyalty is a closely watched auto-industry metric because it is “much more expensive” to take new customers from competitors than to retain existing ones, said S&P’s Libby. S&P offers some of the most detailed industry data on automotive purchases because it analyzes vehicle registration data from all 50 states on a household-by-household basis. Unlike survey data, it follows actual vehicle transactions to track how consumers migrate among brands and models. From the fourth quarter of 2021 through the third quarter of last year, more than 60% of Tesla-owning households bought another one for their next car purchase, the data show. Only one other brand – Ford – posted a quarterly loyalty rate exceeding 60% during the period, and only once. Customer defections S&P’s data also examines another aspect of the automotive market: Which brands and models are taking customers away from others, and which ones are losing them? Until recently, Tesla was in a different stratosphere than other automotive brands on this metric. For the four years prior to July 2024, Tesla, on average, acquired nearly five new households for everyone it lost to another brand. No other brand from a major automaker was even close: Hyundai's luxury Genesis brand was the next best, acquiring on average 2.8 households for every one it lost, followed by Kia and Hyundai, which acquired on average 1.5 and 1.4 households, respectively, for every one they lost. Ford, Toyota and Honda lost more households on average than they gained during that period. Tesla’s average inflow of customers started to decline in July 2024 along with its loyalty rate. Since February, Tesla has been gaining fewer than two households for every one it loses to the rest of the industry, its lowest level ever, according to the data. “The data shows clearly that the net migration to Tesla is slowing,” Libby said. Brands that now attract more Tesla customers than they lose to Tesla include Rivian, Polestar, Porsche and Cadillac, the data show. Brian Mulberry, client portfolio manager at Tesla investor Zacks Investment Management, said he isn’t concerned about Tesla’s long-term earnings because he expects enormous profits from its plans to operate robotaxis and license self-driving technology to other automakers. Tesla launched a small test of robotaxis in Austin in June, giving rides to hand-picked fans and Internet personalities but the service isn’t available to the general public. If Tesla succeeds in expanding the technology, Mulberry said, “there’s a case to be made that Tesla doesn’t need to sell cars and trucks anymore.”

In the past year, many businesses have started to rethink their software stacks. Instead of adding more tools, teams are cutting back. They're choosing platforms that cover more ground, reduce friction, and actually get used. DesignRush conducted a year-over-year analysis of Google search trends and web traffic for 14 popular SaaS products. The research aimed to determine which tools are rising in popularity and which are falling out of favor. Rankings were determined by search volume and organic traffic metrics. Here’s what the data showed. Top 5 SaaS Tools of 2025 Based on Website Traffic, Search Volume & Growth Signals The following tools rank highest in the Great SaaS List – 2025 Edition, which combines: Search Keyword Growth (40%) Website Traffic Growth (60%) These final scores reflect tools that are not only visited more but are also increasingly searched for, making them the most popular and relevant in today’s SaaS ecosystem. 1. Canva Website : canva.com Rank : #1 Final Score : 10.0 Canva came out on top. It had more than 18 million search queries and nearly 392 million visits. Search interest increased by 124 percent. Website traffic rose by 46 percent. This tells us that people are not only curious about Canva but also actively using it. The tool is popular across teams in marketing, education, and small business because it's simple and fast to use. 2. Microsoft Teams Website : microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams Rank : #2 Final Score : 8.3 Microsoft Teams showed steady growth. Website visits were up 35 percent, and search traffic increased by 25 percent. Because it’s part of Microsoft 365, Teams is becoming the default for messaging, video calls, and collaboration in many workplaces. 3. Trello Website : trello.com Rank : #3 Final Score : 7.5 Trello had a 21 percent increase in search interest and a modest 3 percent bump in traffic. Its ease of use and visual layout still make it a reliable pick for freelancers and small teams. 4. Workday Website : workday.com Rank : #4 Final Score : 7.3 Workday saw a 10 percent increase in searches and a 3 percent gain in traffic. It continues to be used in large companies for HR, payroll, and finance tasks. While growth is slower, usage remains consistent. 5. Dropbox Website : dropbox.com Rank : #5 Final Score : 7.0 Dropbox traffic declined by 9 percent, but search volume grew by nearly 10 percent. This suggests that people still seek it out, but may be shifting toward tools like Google Drive or OneDrive for daily use. Also read: Agentic AI Coding Tools Gain Momentum in Corporate Engineering Workflows 5 Declining SaaS Tools of 2025 This section focuses on the five lowest-ranked tools , based on a combination of search keyword growth and website traffic change , as used in the weighted final score formula (60% traffic, 40% search). 1. Zoom Website : zoom.us Report Rank : #14 Final Score : 5.2 Zoom saw one of the most dramatic declines this year, placing last with a score of 5.2 . This is because Zoom’s traffic dropped by 64 percent. Searches were down by 18 percent. Many companies are moving to tools like Microsoft Teams or Google Meet, which come with the platforms they already use. 2. HubSpot Website : hubspot.com Report Rank : #13 Final Score : 5.2 HubSpot ranks #13 but matches Zoom in final score. HubSpot traffic dropped more than any other platform on the list at 71 percent. Search interest declined only slightly. This shows people still look it up, but actual usage has dropped. Teams may be switching to simpler options like Zoho or Pipedrive. 3. Mailchimp Website : mailchimp.com Report Rank : #12 Final Score : 6.0 Mailchimp had flat search numbers, but website visits fell by 42 percent. It appears many users in ecommerce and content creation are moving to Klaviyo or ConvertKit, which offer more specialized tools. 4. Salesforce Website : salesforce.com Report Rank : #11 Final Score : 6.2 Salesforce traffic declined by 23 percent. Search demand also dropped by 18 percent. Although it remains a standard in enterprise, smaller teams are choosing tools that are easier to set up and maintain. 5. Asana Website : asana.com Report Rank : #9 Final Score : 6.4 Asana traffic dropped by 26 percent. Search interest stayed the same. The platform is facing more competition from newer tools like Notion, ClickUp, and Linear, which combine project tracking with documents and databases. Tools in Decline (by Traffic Loss) Tool % Traffic Change Notes HubSpot –71.2% Marketing teams opting for lighter CRM options Mailchimp –64.8% Losing share to ecommerce-focused platforms Zoom –64.8% Post-pandemic decline + competition from Teams Asana –71.2% Being replaced by hybrid tools (Notion, ClickUp) These platforms may still be active, but fewer people are using their websites compared to last year. Migration Trends: 6 Tools Being Replaced in 2025 This section explores clear migration patterns in the SaaS space. Using combined signals from traffic drops, search declines, and platform popularity, DesignRush identify which tools are most likely being replaced , and what emerging alternatives are taking their place in modern tech stacks. Related: AI Models Write Code That Works, But Often Miss Security Basics These shifts are not just preference-based, they’re strategic. Companies are consolidating, reducing costs, and prioritizing integration and UX. Below are the most likely replacements in 2025: 1. Zoom → Microsoft Teams or Google Meet Zoom is being replaced by Teams and Google Meet, mostly because those are built into systems many companies already use. Replacements : Microsoft Teams (+35.8% traffic) for enterprises using Office 365 Google Meet as the default for Google Workspace users Trend : Businesses prefer integrated, bundled video tools over standalone apps. 2.

Categories Losing Traction in 2025 Communication tools like Zoom and Slack are being replaced by Teams or Google Meet, especially in companies trying to reduce costs and simplify logins. Marketing tools like HubSpot and Mailchimp are being replaced by options that are easier to manage or better suited to specific industries. Project management tools such as Asana and Basecamp are seeing users shift to platforms that also support documents, notes, and team wikis. Analytics tools including Tableau and Salesforce dashboards are being replaced with options like Power BI and Looker, which are built into platforms businesses already use. What This Means for Businesses Teams are trying to reduce friction. They want fewer tools that can do more. If a product is part of an existing software package, it is more likely to stay. Standalone tools need to offer clear value to justify their place. Complex software with steep learning curves or high costs is being replaced with products that are faster to adopt and easier to use.

People in the U.S. still use search engines to look things up, but the digital landscape has split. A survey conducted by Claneo in early 2025 shows that search engines remain the default tool for general knowledge, with 72 percent saying they use them several times a week. But other platforms are creeping in. Around 25 percent of people now say they regularly use AI chatbots, while 15 percent rely on AI-powered search engines. These numbers aren’t leading, but they’re growing steadily. Among younger users, platform habits are different. Those aged 16 to 27 don’t just search less with traditional engines, they also favor tools that look and feel different. YouTube is used frequently by 68 percent of this group. Instagram follows close behind at 65 percent. TikTok isn’t far off either, drawing in 58 percent of these younger users. At the same time, 34 percent of them already use AI chatbots for information searches. That’s a stronger uptake than seen in any older age group. When it comes to trust, the picture is split. AI search tools are gaining credibility, with 79 percent of respondents saying they trust AI-based search engines. A slightly smaller share, 77 percent, say they feel the same about AI chatbots. These confidence levels still trail behind older, more established platforms. Amazon scores highest on trust, reaching 87 percent. Search engines and YouTube follow, both at 86 percent. Walmart and Pinterest sit just behind at 85 percent. Other platforms rank lower. Trust in Asian e-commerce services remains fragile. Thirty-one percent of Americans surveyed describe them as untrustworthy. Short-message platforms are next, with 28 percent sharing doubts. Facebook also draws concern from 27 percent of respondents. TikTok lands at 25 percent. Distrust of AI tools is lower, but still present, 23 percent rate AI chatbots as untrustworthy, while 21 percent say the same about AI search engines. What people search for also affects where they go. For general knowledge, search engines still dominate. About 64 percent of Americans choose them first when they want broad information. YouTube is next, but far lower, with 22 percent. AI chatbots pull 17 percent, and Wikipedia accounts for 14 percent. Others like Reddit, TikTok, and Facebook are used less often for this purpose. When the search is easy, say, a quick fact check, people still turn to engines first. Forty-seven percent use them for simple information tasks. Twenty-eight percent use AI chatbots. AI-powered engines make up 23 percent. Reddit handles 21 percent of these queries. These preferences change when the question gets more complicated. For harder topics, search engine use falls to 36 percent. AI chatbots hold steady at 27 percent. AI search engines reach 21 percent, and Reddit remains close behind with 20 percent. These shifts show that users often branch out when questions get deeper or the information becomes harder to sort through. Product search is a different story. People don't use traditional engines as much when they shop. Just 44 percent search for products through general engines. Amazon isn’t far behind at 41 percent. Walmart draws in 32 percent. The pattern changes again depending on price. If users are shopping for affordable goods, Walmart leads with 55 percent. Amazon follows at 51 percent. Asian shopping platforms pull in 45 percent. But for expensive items, the field tightens. Amazon and eBay both land at 22 percent. Price comparison websites trail at 16 percent. Entertainment still dominates social media. Many people say they go to YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok mainly for trends and videos. YouTube ranks highest at 59 percent. Instagram draws 54 percent. Facebook and TikTok are used this way by 53 and 51 percent of users, respectively. Still, these platforms are slowly entering the search space too, especially for brands and products. When people decide which platform to use, trust and clarity matter more than speed. Forty-nine percent of users say trustworthiness is the most important trait in online search results. Clear, understandable content comes next at 38 percent. Low prices matter to 35 percent. Ratings and reviews sit close behind at 34 percent. Layout and presentation also play a role, but they rank lower. According the the survey , speed ranks even lower. Many users say they’ll wait longer for solid answers, especially if the information comes from a source they trust. This points to a shift where credibility and content quality outweigh speed or design. People don’t only use AI for search. In fact, AI tools are being used for a wide mix of tasks. Nineteen percent of users rely on them to process complex information. Another 19 percent use them for research. Creative help is close behind at 17 percent. Finding simple facts accounts for 16 percent of usage. Writing and text generation stands at 15 percent. That said, not everyone is on board. In the U.S., 39 percent of survey participants said they don’t use AI for any of these purposes. In Germany, the number is lower, around 29 percent. Search is no longer one platform serving every need. In 2025, users break their habits into categories. They don’t search in the same place for a how-to guide, a winter coat, and a technical article. Younger audiences are driving many of these changes, but the trend isn’t limited to them. People across all age groups are choosing platforms that fit the job. Some platforms are rising because they’re easier to trust. Others gain ground because they handle complexity well. The decision of where to search now rests on a simple question: what’s the task?

A Florida jury on Friday ordered Tesla to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to plaintiffs who blamed a deadly 2019 crash on the company's "Autopilot" driver assistance technology. The jury found Tesla's system partly responsible for a crash in Key Largo that killed Naibel Benavides Leon and injured her boyfriend, Dillon Angulo, according to attorney Darren Jeffrey Rousso, a partner at the law firm that represented Angulo and Leon's family. The plaintiffs had alleged that Autopilot was to blame when driver George McGee's Tesla careened into a Chevrolet sport utility vehicle, killing Leon and injuring Angulo. The jury awarded $200 million in punitive damages, plus $59 million in compensatory damages to Leon's family and $70 million in damages to Angulo, according to court records. Since the jury assigned one-third of the blame to Tesla, the compensatory damages will be reduced, Rousso said, with the total impact of the jury award totaling $242 million after these reductions. "Justice was done," Rousso said. "The jury heard all the evidence and came up with a fair and just verdict on behalf of our clients." Tesla will appeal the decision, according to its defense attorneys. "Today's verdict is wrong and only works to set back automotive safety and jeopardize Tesla's and the entire industry's efforts to develop and implement life-saving technology," Tesla said through its legal team. "The evidence has always shown that this driver was solely at fault because he was speeding, with his foot on the accelerator - which overrode Autopilot - as he rummaged for his dropped phone without his eyes on the road," Tesla said. "To be clear, no car in 2019, and none today, would have prevented this crash. This was never about Autopilot."
