Ikea's Space10 revealed future plans of breaking into the self-driving car space. Space10 has collaborated with the design studio Foam to release a set of seven concepts that are meant to help people think about the shift of autonomous car interiors. Although Ikea does not plan on building a car itself, it wants to make the interior of self-driving cars as comfortable as possible.

Chipotle is seeking applicants for its Chipotle Aluminaries Project. The new accelerator is focused on ventures and young agri-tech companies that change the food landscape. The program is sponsored by Chipotle's Cultivate Foundation to extend its commitment to creating a more sustainable food future. Kimbal Musk, who sits on the board of Chipotle, is also an advisor.
