Having a lane departure warning alert you that you are drifting out of a lane and possibly into an empty ditch by the side of the road does diddly-squat to protect others, but can sure help you and your medical/insurance bills out.
The GMC Canyon compact pickup truck returned to the market with a new design in 2015 after a two-year hiatus. The Canyon and Sierra are like twins and they have almost the same problems. The older models of Canyons come with electrical and brake issues. The 2015 GMC Canyon was fitted with a dodgy automatic transmission that downshifts roughly.
The MultiPro tailgate is easily the most trick of the bunch, a clever re-think of a mostly overlooked component. It’s essentially a tailgate-within-the-tailgate, which allows for six different configurations, including a load-stop for longer items, a drop-down step, and a work station. The MultiPro construction felt robust and solid, with heavy-duty hinges and lever arms, which suggests GMC realized the first rule of improving things that are not necessarily broken: if you’re going to add features and complication, it had better last.
The Sierra is arguable handsomer than the Silverado, mostly thanks to its more elegant grill, but the truck’s overall profile is likewise pleasing—athletic and imposing, if ridiculously massive. This, of course, is indicative of the out-of-control bloat in the pickup space in general; this generation’s full-size truck looks like a heavy-duty pickup from just a couple generations ago. This was acknowledged during the quick design briefing: that big blockish grille, we were told, was explicitly designed for "more of a heavy-duty look" because that’s what customers wanted. Looks like we’re just about back to the ridiculousness that is the International CXT and the children who love it.
Adaptive cruise control system can be seen in a wide array of cars. Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Land Rover, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Toyota, and Volvo are some of the well-known brands that offer adaptive cruise control system as standard or optional equipment in some of their cars.
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, one percent of all crashes are due to rollovers but a third of passenger receives injuries. Cheat Sheets has also reported that Chevy Chevrolet Colorado has a 22 %chance of rolling over, and of course the Silverado could not be left out of this section either.

Now all I have to do is replace the timing belt and water pump before I can finally get that crappy Honda out of my life. I’ve already started on that job, and so far, it’s been absolute hell. Stay tuned to hear more about that.
The two prototypes undergoing tests on the MTU test stand in Friedrichshafen feature an innovative new system. MTU has acquired the rights to this new technology from the G+L innotec company, and the partners will now be jointly developing the product. Market debut for the first engines with electrically assisted turbocharging is scheduled for 2021. “Electrically assisted turbocharging is a significant milestone on the road to hybridisation,” explained Dr Johannes Kech, director, Turbocharging and Fluid Systems at MTU. “This technology will allow us to develop engines that deliver increased agility and lower consumption at the same time as enhancing ecological performance,” he added. All this is made possible by using an electric motor to smooth out weaknesses in turbocharging systems.Linked to a conventional turbocharger, the electric motor ensures that boost is available when the engine needs it. This will eliminate delays in performance ramp-up according to MTU. In addition, MTU says that the system will help address another issue, as turbochargers are expected to achieve reductions in emissions by helping to prevent the generation of diesel particulates and nitrogen oxides during the combustion process. “With electrically assisted turbocharging we marry a conventional MTU turbocharger with an electric drive motor,” explained Joachim Thiesemann, who is responsible at MTU for integrating the new system in the standard turbocharger landscape. Special units mounted in front of the compressor wheel house permanent magnets, the rotor of the electrical unit, and the electrical winding that is integrated in the compressor casing. “The electric motor makes it possible to virtually decouple the operating point of the turbocharger from the speed of the diesel engine,” explained Rudi Rappsilber, who is in charge of testing the new system at MTU. The firm says that delays in performance ramp-up can be addressed, allowing optimum turbocharging to be achieved in almost every operating state. The technology can be implemented with existing turbochargers without excessive complications, while the additional installation space required is limited according to MTU.
The maximum number of transistor outputs is increased to 12 and digital inputs to 16 by the update, from a previous maximum of four and 12, respectively.
I am ok with technology that helps in an emergency situation, but against technology that alerts the driver that they may be entering an emergency situation.
