Another Step Toward Autonomous Driving

As we have discussed at length what autonomous driving will mean for the automotive market the ability to drive a vehicle without a driver has yet to be fully developed, but other technologies have come from the research.

This new technology is found in the BMW 7-Series and allows for the control of some features via gestures. (more…)

Look At the i3 Now!!

The BMW i3 gives us something cool to think about and drive in the luxury hatchback world.

Sometimes We Just Goof

This does happen at times and it happens to the best in the business just as much as those upstarts who aren’t sure what niche they want to play in.

Even with that thought, if you want to enjoy a manual transmission and handle the shifting duties yourself, here are twenty cars that still allow you to do so. (more…)
