Dunkin’ Donuts is quietly testing “Donut Fries” as a side in Boston. The trial follows Taco Bell’s rollout of Nacho Fries, which the chain announced last month had became its biggest-ever product launch.

We’ve all become accustomed to Jon Hamm’s assured delivery for Mercedes, but the brand takes a different tone in promoting its A-Class, featuring a more casual voiceover and a cameo by pop star Nicki Minaj. In“Just Like You,” the Mercedes is kind of like a smart-phone on wheels, allowing for automation and personalization. The campaign from Antoni in Berlin focuses on the way it adapts to the driver, not the other way around.

Waymo CEO John Krafcik said not to expect the new service to take the form of a “traditional car driven on roads.” His comments suggest Waymo is ready to try co-creating a vehicle from scratch with an automaker rather than modifying existing models, as it has done with Jaguar and Fiat Chrysler. The Honda model may move people and goods. It might be smaller than a truck and could come without a steering wheel or brakes.
