Shifting Gears: An international manhunt, Tesla delivers, and … an egg?
Here today, Ghosn tomorrow
Carlos Ghosn — the former superstar automotive executive turned international fugitive — is in Lebanon, apparently, after escaping Japan where he was awaiting trial.
There are still entirely way more questions than answers surrounding how, exactly, he got to Lebanon (apparently through Turkey). The 65-year-old is expected to give a press conference soon, with the aid of a public relations firm hired this week, so stay tuned.
In the meantime, all of the twists and turns in the saga can be found here.
Good news for Tesla
Tesla's fourth-quarter delivery numbers beat the low end of company guidance, handily topping prior years and helping the company's stock price hit a record high on Friday.
Now, eyes are on Elon Musk & Co. as they prepare to report financials for the quarter later this month.
Egg-way?
Segway is back. This time with an egg-shaped "transportation pod" that's part electric wheelchair and part WALL-E hover-chair. Also it goes 24 miles per hour.
Some prototypes will be on display at the Consumer Electronics Show this month if you want to try it out. If a Business Insider reporter sees one in the wild, you can expect a full review.
