Wanna know what exactly has changed everything in the U.S. car sales?

Sandberg's visit to Germany comes after the coun...

Ford engineers said they hope tests results from real-world encounters will pave the way for standardization and industry-wide adoption. The white light display, located at the top of the windshield, is designed to communicate intent to yield way or accelerate from a stop, which today is done through hand gestures, head nods and eye contact. The display’s color and locati...
Two close friends died in the crash of a Dodge Challenger Hellcat over the weekend after they shot off the end of an airport runway. That someone died in a 707-hp Hellcat is, sadly, not unexpected. But two aspects of the story are remarkable. First, the men's ages: the crash victims were Lynd Fitzgerald, 71, of Colorado Springs, and his passenger, Roger Lichtenberger, 76, of San Marcos, Calif. Second, their speed: The car was likely moving at over 100 miles per hour. The men had permission to use the 8,300-foot runway at Central Colorado Regional Airport in Buena Vista. That...
