Not even a week has passed since Uber introduced a fleet of self-driving Volvo XC90s to the streets of San Francisco, all in defiance of California regulators telling Uber to stop. Since then, the autonomous Volvos have been seen running red lights, ignoring stop signs, and failing to yield to pedestrians, obviously all dangerous and illegal moves. It seems there is one more problem to add to that list, as Uber has admitted to The Guardian that its vehicles have problems navigating through bike lanes. Like with the other incidents, there have been first-hand reports of Uber's Vo...
Even with a booming U.S. car market, the only safe jobs of late have been building pickups and sport utility vehicles. But it seems like, these jobs aren't that safe anymore since already two automakers decided to stop producing at their few plants in USA and Canada. Within the next month, General Motors Co. plans to permanently cut about 3,300 employees at three car plants, as the largest U.S. automaker slashes production of models including the Chevrolet Cruze compact. The Detroit-based company also plans to temporarily lay off employees across five of its U.S. car factories, ...

The US car buyers are showing signs of fatigue, raising concerns over the broader outlook for consumer spending—a key engine of U.S. Growth. Sales of light vehicles in the U.S. have increased for six straight years, touching a record 17.5 million units in 2015, and are potentially on track for another record this year. But sales now appear to have plateaued, leading to a buildup of inventory and a return to discounting—something auto makers swore off when emerging from the recession. Dealership sales, measured in dollars, fell a seasonally adjusted 0.5% in November from ...
Fiat Chrysler dealers will have to wait a bit longer for two highly anticipated big-ticket vehicles: a fully redesigned Ram heavy-duty pickup and a luxury SUV for Jeep, the Grand Wagoneer. It became clear that FCA's Ram brand will not redesign its current heavy-duty pickups onto its new DT pickup platform in 2018 but instead will keep the same body-in-white and refresh the existing DS-based model. Meanwhile, the automaker has placed a hold on its development of the Jeep Grand Wagoneer luxury SUV. The vehicle has been on Jeep's product plan since 2014 and was to boast three r...
