  • Mastercard-PayPal expand agentic AI payments pact to scale AI-driven checkout
    October 27, 2025, 5:06 PM EDT. Mastercard and PayPal are expanding their collaboration to scale agentic AI in payments, with Mastercard's Agent Pay integrating into PayPal's branded checkout to let AI agents complete transactions on behalf of users. The move accelerates AI-enabled shopping and checkout for millions of consumers and merchants, and signals broader joint work on future agentic AI applications in shopping and payments. Mastercard plans a holiday-season rollout of Agent Pay to deliver personalized experiences, tap card-network data, and assist with onboarding and security. PayPal is pushing its own agentic commerce strategy, including partnerships for automated hotel searches and bookings. As agents handle increasing site traffic, this shift will reshape economics and demand robust Know Your Customer credentialing for pre-authenticated purchases.
  • Nissan edges closer to mass-market all-solid-state EV batteries with LiCAP partnership
    October 27, 2025, 5:04 PM EDT. Nissan is accelerating its push into all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) with a LiCAP Technologies partnership that uses a dry electrode process to avoid drying steps and speed up production. The approach aims to reduce manufacturing costs, shrink charging times, and potentially double driving range compared with today's lithium-ion cells. Nissan opened a pilot line at its Yokohama plant and targets about $75 per kWh, roughly 30% below 2024 battery pack averages. Prototypes reportedly hit mass-production performance targets, bringing Nissan closer to a commercial launch by fiscal year 2028. Competition is intensifying from Toyota, Honda, CATL, BYD, and others as automakers race to bring scalable ASSBs to market, with the challenge remaining the high cost of large-scale manufacturing.

  • Apple Maps Could Include Ads in Next Year, Bloomberg Reports
    October 27, 2025, 4:56 PM EDT. Bloomberg's Power On newsletter reports that Apple Maps could start showing advertising as soon as next year. The plan would fit into a broader push to place ads in iOS software, with businesses paying for promoted spots within Maps search results. Apple has not commented. The move mirrors Google Maps, which has served ads in its iPhone app since 2009, and follows earlier iOS updates like the Visited Places feature introduced with iOS 26. Some users may push back on promotions across Apple Music, TV, and News, raising concerns about ad fatigue. The ads would likely be non-intrusive, not pop-ups, and could be opt-in for businesses choosing to promote locations.
