While it’s cool to have your car’s tailgate slowly open automatically as you wait with both hands carrying groceries, it’s another story altogether if it was raining cats and dogs and you’re still standing there like a drenched idiot as the tailgate rises at the same rate as paint dries. Mazda thinks it’s got a solution for this with the CX-30 in the form of a two-speed motorised tailgate. Carbuzz came across some patent filings

Recently, we've seen a slew of new cars being unveiled that heralds a new era. No, I'm not talking about just electrification.
