We don't know if the electric car sales are poised to accelerate in sales, or will they be stuck in neutral, but the latest forecast tells us what could occur under existing policies as technologies continue to evolve. Previously we had been expecting electrics to remain a tiny share of U.S. vehicle sales for decades to come. But now we see a brighter future for electric vehicles, with annual sales topping 1.2 million cars by 2025 plus an additional 186,000 light trucks. That's nearly double its forecast from last year, and nearly 10 times its forecast from 2014. ...

The fallout has already begun, with Ford Motor Co. shaving $300 million from its financial-services arm’s profit f...

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a report it will not seek a vehicle recall after conducting a six-month investigation. The crash drew enormous attention and raised questions about the safety of systems that can perform driving tasks for long stretches with little or no human intervention.&nbs...
For some enthusiasts, autonomous driving represents a potentially joyless future, perhaps offset by convenience and improved safety. For a large number of people – many who don't currently drive – autonomous vehicles are an opportunity for equal access to transportation, a principle of the Americans with Disabilities Act. It's a way for a blind person to get to work, or for a disabled veteran to make it to an important medical appointment.
