After discussions with the NHTSA, Tesla is recalling 53,822 cars--everything from the Model 3 to the Model Y--over a Full Self-Driving Beta feature that lets the EVs perform 'rolling stops.' It's not only dangerous, but failing to completely stop at a stop sign is illegal.
Starting this year, the IIHS won't just be issuing warnings about so-called 'self-driving cars.' It's now going to score partially-autonomous technology the same way it rates other car safety features. And in doing so, it hopes to make these systems more foolproof in the real world.
The Nuro R2 is already being tested as a self driving, all-electric delivery vehicle. And while it's adorable and effective, there are some things you should know.
Ford and Chevy have both joined the hands free driving fight with the BlueCruise and SuperCruise, respectively. But which driver assisting tech is best?
The car industry is changing so fast it’s hard to guess what new technologies are actually going to come to fruition, much less a timeline for when those things might happen. Everyone from Tesla to Hyundai wants to be the company that drops the next big thing, which seems to be the Autonomous car. I’m …
Understandably, trying to make a truly self-driving car is extremely difficult. As such, autonomous vehicles, as they’re properly known, aren’t really going to hit the road in the near future. However, while consumers are cooling somewhat on the concept, automakers are still plowing ahead. And recently, the 2021 Honda Legend achieved an autonomy milestone. But …
Futuristic movies have given us a glimpse at flying self-driving cars. In recent years, there’s also been lots of interest in actual self-driving cars, albeit not the airborne variety. Though the flying version isn’t here yet, tech brand Apple plans to roll out a self-driving electric car by 2024. And its battery will be “next …
If you have been following along in the race to manufacture a fully self-driving car, you’ll know that Tesla has been testing out its “full self-driving” feature on its cars lately. And while those updated features are impressive, they still need some work as they are still in the beta testing phase and have yielded …
There’s a difference between a driving experience and riding experience. Driving gives a sense of control.

Advanced driver-assistance systems have rapidly become a critical part of automotive safety. ADAS features like lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking are now standard in many vehicles. However, not everyone understands their limitations. This is especially worrying in the face of a new study which shows they’re not as foolproof as many …
Self-driving cars are a hot topic of conversation as automakers work to make their vehicle lineups more innovative. Ford has teased its plans to introduce a fleet of self-driving vehicles for years, so have other companies, including Tesla and Lexus. Still, we are aways from seeing fully automated cars on the road at this point. As automated vehicles continue …
Auto manufacturers are now approaching carmaking the same way that leading technology companies create their products. With the help of cutting edge software technology, carmakers can elevate the consumer experience, just like Apple or Google does with their devices.
