General Motors Co. and Toyota Motor Corp. officials will tell a U.S. House panel that need changes to automotive safety rules to allow the deployment of self-driving cars on American roads. Mike Abelson, vice president of global strategy at GM, said that without changes to those regulations, it may be years before the promise of today’s technology can be realized and thousands of preventable deaths that could have been avoided will happen.

Renault-Nissan Alliance came just short of matching General Motors and joining the ranks of the three biggest automakers by global sales, after CEO Carlos Ghosn rescued a Japanese peer last year. Nissan Motor Co., Renault SA and Mitsubishi Motors Corp. combined delivered 9.96 million vehicles last year. The three automakers chaired by Ghosn finished fewer than 4,000 cars and trucks short of GM’s deliveries in 2016 and within about 350,000 units of new worldwide leader Volkswagen AG. Ghosn emphasized the scale Renault and Nissan would add by coming to the aid of Japanese peer Mitsubishi M...
The latest study revealed by specialists reveals that policy would deliver the sharpest blow to Jaguar Land Rover while giving a leg up to Ford Motor Co. and Tesla Inc.

The estimates aim...

He said that due to a large probability that a defeat device was used, they decided to launch a lawsuit. In documents handed out to reporters at a news conference, Luxembourg's infrastructure ministry described itself as a victim of criminal action that led it to certify ...
Daimler AG’s Mercedes-Benz jumped out to an early lead in the race for U.S. luxury car sales supremacy, posting a record January after winning the crown last year for the first time since 2013. Mercedes sold 25,527 cars and light trucks in the U.S. last month, a 3.5 percent increase from a year earlier.
