As 2016 is almost over, the U.S. auto market is on the verge of setting a new sales record, beating last year's mark of 17.5 million new cars and trucks. Auto sales have been booming for several years, powered by a combination of cheap gas, easy credit, and pent-up demand.

Like with the other incidents, there have been first-hand reports of Uber's Vo...

Since many new car dealerships feel a strong competition in online e-commerce, used car dealers now fear of car vending machine. And no, it's not something impossible, it's totally real. And no, you can't shake it to get a free one. An online used car retailer opened its newest "vending machine" last week in Houston, where the gleaming, glass-encased structure sits right off a busy freeway. The eight-storey automated garage- three levels higher than the first version which debuted in Nashville a year ago - holds 30 cars. It dispenses used vehicles in four deliv...
