UK-based Jaguar Land Rover says it's pausing shipments to the US after President Donald Trump imposed a 25 percent tariff on passenger vehicles and other auto imports. The pause will be in effect this month, the Associated Press reports. While the full impact of the tariffs remains to be seen, analysts have said the move could ultimately drive up the cost of new and even used cars.
"The USA is an important market for JLR's luxury brands," Jaguar Land Rover said in a statement to AP. "As we work to address the new trading terms with our business partners, we are taking some short-term actions including a shipment pause in April, as we develop our mid- to longer-term plans."
Trump's tariffs go well beyond the auto industry, and we're only seeing the beginning of how the US' trading partners will respond. The president announced a 10 percent baseline tariff on "all countries" this week, and some will face even higher "reciprocal"

Microsoft is celebrating its 50th anniversary by showing off Copilot Vision for mobile (Android and iOS) as well as Copilot for Windows. Copilot Vision for mobile is available today. Copilot Vision for Windows is scheduled to debut for members of Microsoft's Windows Insider blog next week and deploy more broadly later on within the existing Windows app.
Microsoft showed off Copilot Vision for Windows in a recorded demonstration released Friday. In the video, the user asked Copilot Vision, who was "following" the user as she worked in Adobe Photoshop, how to adjust the saturation. Copilot responded in the affirmative, then told the user what to do, highlighting the proper control to click. Copilot guided the user step by step — never actually performing the task, but visually indicating, via highlights, exactly what the user needed to do.
Copilot Vision for mobile sounds like Google's Project Astra: using your phone's camera to "see" the world, Copilot can used to answer questions about the world around you. Microsoft suggested that Copilot Vision could be used to assess the health of your plants, or to provide decorating tips. But it will be up to the user to use Copilot Vision, ask the right questions, and for Copilot to provide the right answers.
