Acura is discontinuing its ZDX electric crossover despite recent sales growth, while Honda offers steep discounts on the Prolog. Waymo launches a corporate ride-hailing service for autonomous vehicles. Toyota opens its futuristic Woven City in Tokyo, and Mercedes partners with AI firm Momenta for advanced driver assistance in the new CLA.
