Ford Escape SUV was rated “poor” by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for the new passenger side front crash test. Ford Escape was the only small SUV that failed.

The idea behind the test is to replicate an accident where the vehicle collides with an object with just the passenger’s side. Wh...

After Uber has been blocked from testing its self-driving cars in Arizona, we thought it might go back to California, but it won’t. The company will not renew its permit to test self-driving vehicles in the state. The company suspended its public road testing in Arizona, California, Pittsburgh, and Toronto immediately after the crash. In a letter to Uber sent Tuesday, the California Department of Motor Vehicles said the company had not indicated it would renew its testing license when it expires March 31. In order to renew the license, Uber would have to address any...
