G'day,

Canva’s young trio of billionaire founders  have quickly emerged as some of Australia’s biggest charitable donors via The Canva Foundation, newly lodged documents reveal.

Mercedes-Benz has showcased the next generation of adaptive cruise control in Melbourne, tapping into its self-driving car technology to allow motorists to automatically overtake slower vehicles.
