Polestar
Volvo's electric spinoff
Polestar has two meanings.
The polestar is a star positioned near a celestial pole, especially Polaris, the North Star, which has guided navigators for centuries because it appears fixed while other stars rotate around it.
By extension, a polestar is any guiding principle or central focus: Academic freedom became the polestar of the university's mission.
Polestar is also a Swedish automotive brand producing electric vehicles.
