Samsung, the South Korean electronics giant — which already makes popular but recently problem-plagued smartphones — said on Monday that it had agreed to buy Harman International Industries, an American automotive technology company, in an ambitious push into a whole different kind of mobile. Harman is best known for making car audio systems under brand names popular with audiophiles such as Harman/Kardon and JBL. But Harman’s appeal to Samsung comes from what it calls its connected car business — an operation that supplies a car’s navigation services, its onboard...
It seems that the new president Donald Trump didn't manage to win the love of China yet, truly saying the idea of launching an all-trade war against China isn't something the country must really like. We remember the way China lashed out repeatedly the Asian country during the acrimonious race for the White House. The communist party leader voted for punishing Beijing with defensive 45% tariffs on Chinese imports and to officially declare it a currency manipulator. US auto and iPhone sales in China will suffer a setback, and US soybean and maize imports will be halted. China...
Volkswagen Group claims that Audi cars with automatic transmissions have technology capable of distorting emissions when they are tested, as its premium brand is battling allegations over a reported discovery of a new cheat software device.

That wasn't really a surprise. GM is far from the only automaker to see car sales slump as more and more buyers gravitate toward SUVs. But inventories of some of those mode...
Tesla Motors has approached the Utah Supreme Court to get approval to sell its electric vehicles directly to the public without a third-party dealership, the Salt Lake Tribune says. For the past year, legislators within the state have voted against allowing the California-based automaker to pursue its distribution model. The Utah Supreme Court is expected to take a few weeks to rule on the issue. By approaching the court, Tesla's making good on the intentions made by Tesla chief Elon Musk this summer. Earlier this year, Tesla and Utah were working towards a potential compromise ...
