At the risk of sounding like a cynical, middle-aged guy from the East Coast, it’s rare that I stumble across something on social media that I haven’t seen before. I can still play the AOL dial-up squeal in my head from memory, OK? I’ve seen some Internet. So when Caleb…

If the experience of driving an electric vehicle simply isn’t engaging enough for you, several automakers are working to address that problem—including Ford. That’s what we’ve learned this week, as a patent application dating back to 2023 from the Blue Oval was recently published. The document describes a gear lever…
With one junked car at a time, Toyota looks to reduce, reuse, and recycle its way into another profit stream while keeping trash out of well, actual streams.

Chrome 24-inch wheels on an SUV used to be something you’d only see in music videos. Now, they’re standard equipment on mom-spec family taxis. Maybe that’s part of the reason these trucks look cooler to me on basic steel wheels lately. We don’t see that too often anymore—it can be…
We’ve seen our fair share of fifth-generation Chevy Camaros that received the vintage treatment. While there’s an occasional home run, the majority tend to suffer from questionable execution, to put it gently. Fortunately, this 2015 Camaro redone as a ’69 Chevelle is a sterling example of the former—and it’s headed…

If you need more proof that electronic driving aids don’t make a car autonomous, here it is. YouTuber Mark Rober put his Tesla Model Y’s Autopilot technology to the test by setting up a Looney Toons-style trap. Rober set up styrofoam wall with a picture of a road on it,…
Don’t let their cutesy demeanor fool you. Competition in the commercial electric van space is getting fierce. Kia has a lineup of configurable cargo vans (though still in concept form) and Rivian opened up its van order books to non-Amazon buyers for the first time. Not to be outdone, and…
Too much of a good thing is real. With cars, too many goodies means real expensive. Then subscriptions happened and owners became annoyed. And, according to a recent study, everyone still is. Smartcar, which develops platform/app management for connected cars, released its annual report on the current state of in-car…
A little over two years ago, Can-Am showed us its new Maverick R—a 240-horsepower beast of a side-by-side with a whopping 17 inches of ground clearance and a trick new suspension. But as impressive as that chassis engineering may be, its, ahem, unconventional design poses a challenge for those who…

Automakers pitched everyone on connected cars by saying they’d be better to use and own. “Get over-the-air updates instead of going to the dealer,” they hooped. “Lock your car from anywhere with your phone,” they hollered. But as we’ve learned with everything from smart watches to smart TVs, connectivity often…
After years of public “beta” testing of its Full Self-Driving feature, Tesla seems only incrementally closer to unleashing truly autonomous robotaxis on the broader market.
