Headline: See You At IAS!
As the Inspiration Auto Show draws ever closer, taking place this Saturday on August 14th, we have a ton of companies from P.I.O to AutoBloxx teasing what you will be seeing at the event. For those who weren't on the display list, only Marvino has actually addressed their non-attendance with a "We Won't See You At IAS 2021" post. Sonya also was supposed to attend, but then the firm dropped out when they closed and then opened again. Here are a portion of the teasers we have seen so far:
This is from Nucleus, a car startup under E.U.A Group.
This is from UniQ, but they didn't add a logo.
From this image, Solara will be entering the mesh car space with the unnamed sedan beside the iconic Solara SPD Acclaim.
We haven't gotten much from P.I.O's tease, but the CEO did mention the next Strada SUV from the British brand to feature bar headlights. Not confirmed.
This is from Kenzo Motors since the others have logos and names on display. They are working on what seems to be a coupe to rival other sports coupes like the 2021 Krypton Vellon and 2021 Marvino Era GT.
This is the Lyx Okant, the one on CarBlox's homepage that has been in development since this year or so.
They are others, but there other things to cover. The confirmed event displays are as follows:

For CarBlox's coverage of the event, I am still deciding if we should continue with our usual method of article journalism or if I should start making videos since the event will be probably the biggest auto show we've seen in years with people in the ROBLOX Automotive Industry from all parts of the platform, heck the world, coming together at ONE venue. Here are some of the snapshots Autoworks Owner and the main person organizing the event shared:
From what we have seen so far, all I can hope is that I can get access to my family's more powerful general desktop for the event since I know my laptop will not be able to get good looking photos of the event.
We are also expecting the 2021 Inspiration Awards to take place during the August 14-21 length of IAS. According to Cereal_Tree, this is what can be expected for these big awards:
This year we will have another awards ceremony for this year's attendees.
"The Inspiration Awards are a set of four different awards which will be given out to those who have displayed truly outstanding designs and creations.
Best Video
Best Overall Display Design
Best Overall Concept Vehicle Design
Best Overall Vehicle Design
Our categorical awards will be announced later. We are excited to see you at Inspiration Auto Show 2021!"
The categorical awards haven't been announce yet, and I predict they will be revealed either a day before or the day of Inspiration Auto Show 2021.
Ctyel Shows Off Prototype Clones
Small-time CSG car company Ctyel showed off clones of it's prototypes, with a scale compared to the CEO Dev_Jar's ROBLOX avatar.
We can see they prototypes include car such as coupes, single passenger cars, convertible and oher autos. The production of any of these cars in unconfirmed, but CarBlox will (probably if we aren't busy with IAS) cover any new announcements and developments.
Project Ocean Closure Outrages Startup Owners
After Project Ocean, a startup planning on bringing hydrogen fuel cell technology to the ro-automotive industry, closed down two days after announcing it's opening, multiple start owners are outraged. For privacy and drama-prevention reasons, I will not be naming them or their companies, but they were upset that the main reason for the death of the new firm was in people adding mean and rude reactions to the company's three posts, which allegedly caused the CEO to lose motivation and shut down the project. CarBlox will continue to develop the story if anything more comes out, but this is all that can be said for now without delving into information CarBlox is not at liberty to write.
Update Pre-Publishing: A few minutes before this story was published, Oceanic's CEO has requested the company not to be revived, rendering the project 100% dead. Screenshots were given but they have been removed as they were never meant to be shared.
The shots showed the CEO saying the company quote: " Sorry, but I don't want to know." and "But that's only a fictional concept, only a ROBLOX concept.". This confirms the not-so- nice reactions to the company's announcements were a big cause is killing the new company.
An trusted anonymous source was the source of all this information. But there has been rumblings of the concept being revived under another name and company.

Autonomus Driving in ROBLOX?
Recently, talks of autonomous driving has popped up in the Autoworks Discord. It all started when Bryan, CEO of Unity, told me about his new project/start-up called Arus, which will be specializing in autonomous driving. We don't know much about the company but expect development to be slow as the concept is one of the most complex things possible at the moment in ROBLOX.
