This sort of “muh children” argument to saddle everyone around you (potentially involuntarily) with every kind of extra cost or restriction is kind of insane. At some point we just accept that certain things are out of our control. You want to cocoon yourself and your family in a super safe vehicle that will keep you on the road and minimize risk of injury in an accident? Fantastic. Wishing for some kind of magic control over other peoples’ cars to prevent “boy racers” from breaking the speed limit or whatever the implication is, absolutely insane.

The problem with the EPS would occur during low-speed turning maneuvers that would lead to collision.

Q: With regard to your recent comments about people preferring automatic transmissions to manuals, I agree most people prefer automatics for their convenience, but I suggest you also consider another reason to choose a modern-day automatic. I grew up driving manual transmissions, including a number of high-performance cars. I’ve also been to high-performance driving school, where I learned, and mastered, the heel-and-toe shifting technique. Even so, my recent purchases have been high-performance cars with automatics. Why? They shift faster than anyone can manually — professional or amateur — including matching revs on the downshifts. Lazy? No. I just prefer having a vehicle where performance potential is maximized.

The trailering package, with an included app, has all sorts of functionality. You can add a custom profile for each trailer; perform a lighting test as you inspect the vehicle from outside as part of the included Pre-Departure Checklist; hardwire a camera to the back—as well as see down the sides of the trailer, and use the aforementioned birds-eye view—and check the trailer tire pressure. (Considering the many available camera angles, it raised the question as to why the front view disappeared when a rear camera was added; the answer was short and sheepish: because the truck was made with only four available camera inputs, instead of five.) You’ll also receive an alert on your smartphone if someone’s tampering with the vehicle or trailer. 

Long charging times are still a major roadblock for electric cars, but Delta Electronics wants to change that. The company plans to test a new system that can add 180 miles of range to an electric car in just 10 minutes. General Motors is a backer of the project.

-Clutch hydraulics will not fail without warning. If you find it harder to shift into gear, and if the clutch pedal feels mushy, it is time to take a closer look at the system. Don’t wait. Do the repair soon.

By acquiring Torqueedo, a manufacturer of electric drive marine motors, Deutz was able to cut five years out of the technology development needed to electrify their diesel engine powertrains.

"Ford and Mazda also have petitioned NHTSA to escape from recalls involving about 3 million vehicles, mostly made by Ford, but no ruling has been made yet."

SHARP-TURNING BIKES: The Suzuki RM-Z450 and Honda CRF450 are chassis that give to get. With their rigid aluminum frames and corner-specific geometry, the CRF450 and RM-Z are Supercross-specific frames. They are at their best on the entrance of tight turns. The downside of building a sharp-handling chassis is that the bike can feel loose on exit, very busy on fast straights and shake its head in the rough. If you push the CRF450 in too deep, you to have to fight the understeer to keep it biting on exit.

This report released by Market Research Pro is a comprehensive evaluation of the market trends of Diesel Engines for Non-Automotive Applications Sales industry. Along with the above below, this report will also include technological updates as well as regulations impacts of the product. 

Again: The technology isn’t ready yet. For those who think it’s better than nothing, talk to the parents of young children who were killed in parking lot fender-benders while in vehicles with first-generation airbags. It was one thing to test new technology when I was racing cars. I will not be a beta test dummy as a consumer.

19. The Scrambler 1200 line combines style with function. The scrambler craze has hit the motorcycle market hard for the first time since the late 1960s. Often, these machines are adorned with rugged accessories that serve as little more than fashion statements. The 2019 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE has a number plate, the Monza fuel cap, tank strap, and other additions give it that undeniably Bonneville styling, and reinforce the scrambler theme. An aluminum sump guard is certainly functional, as well as stylish.
