I’ve only driven one car with lane keeping function (2017 CR-V) and it only intervened when I was about to cross the lane marker. Additionally, the torque applied to the steering wheel was almost imperceptible. One that comes to mind is how Ford was forced to fix most (but not all) of the 2011-14...Read more »

A couple of months ago, I went through hell to get my hands on a 1991 Jeep Cherokee. It was a manual with vent windows, and it had very little rust, so I would have done almost anything to take ownership of that rare machine.

Most cars have Bluetooth, yet how many people do you see still holding their phone like a pizza, yakking into it like a Muppet as they drive? I won’t disagree about anything passive, seatbelts are passive at this point and if you don’t wear one for whatever reason, that’s on you. I won’t disagree...Read more »

LIDAR sensors based adaptive cruise control system is expected to remain the most dominant technology type Then, once I had located the clutch master cylinder, I grabbed a 12mm combination wrench and broke the flare nut loose.

My main gripe is the failure to distinguish safety features which only protect me (seat belts, air bags) and safety features which protect other drivers (ABS, lane departure). When the 2019 Silverado was unveiled in January at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show, Chevrolet said the redesigned full-size pi...Read more »

But none of these stories is as unfortunate as Joe Finn’s, because after his airbag went off on his 2018 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 during mild off-road driving, he said GM refused to pay the repair bill that his insurance company estimated would total $6,512.74 (see below). Driving assist features t...Read more »

Good point, so I better amend it to mean the introduction of 4-whl ABS. After driving a 1972 Mark IV with ABS, I really wasn’t impressed with performance (well-maintained example), not to mention the computer processer took up a huge chunk of the passenger side of the dash (they shrunk it down in...Read more »

“The airbags went off because there’s a sensor that determined it was in a rollover, which it shouldn’t do in an off-road branded and marketed truck,” he said over the phone, clearly upset about the whole situation. DUIs have declined and overall cost of fatalities will likely decline slowly as t...Read more »

I will say that while driving a winding 2 lane road on a wet rainy night I would hope that even Ayrton Senna would not pass another vehicle that was doing the speed limit and would follow speed limit and advisory speed signs. That is because I or another driver might be coming the other way and e...Read more »

There are a lot of internet experts, pit pundits and “the world is flat” advocates who claim that weight doesn’t matter. Not a day passes that some Honda rider doesn’t claim that his CRF450 doesn’t feel heavy—and some that claim that heavier bikes handle better than light ones. Hogwash! When a tw...Read more »

(3) KTM 450SXF. The KTM 450SXF’s power pulls longer than any other engine on the track. It is ultra manageable and gets progressively faster as the rpm climb. It is unimpressive from low to mid, but meters out the power so that it is more usable over a longer time frame. It makes 57.14 in stock t...Read more »

I don’t mind the added safety systems if they are optional. Let me chose what I want or make them all part of a safety package. My main concerns with these systems is the complexity, repair costs, and added weight. Good drivers don’t need them but they make other drivers more lax because they no ...Read more »

Luckily, though, the job is so easy, a toddler could do it (yet another reason to hire Timmy from down the street). I simply loosened the nut and spun the pushrod by hand.
