“Software, connectivity, AI and proprietary new technology batteries will power the next generation of Dyson technology,” Dyson said.
“Just like our long-term investments in pioneering digital electric motor technology, Dyson’s next generation battery technology will drive a major revolution in the performance and sustainability of Dyson’s machines.”
