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...
A U.S. judge in New Jersey on Tuesday threw out a proposed class action lawsuit alleging that Mercedes misled consumers about emissions standards in "BlueTec Clean Diesel" vehicles.

Automakers that market diese...
Bill Ford is tired of hearing the future of cars belongs to Silicon Valley. Yet for years, the Apple and Google crowd have been telling him that only Big Tech can make driverless vehicles.

Geely and Volvo, which Geely owns, likely are planning to sell via the Internet and company-owned stores, not through franchised dealers. Lynk, an "affordable premium" vehicle resembling those built by Volv...
It's been a year since the Volkswagen scandal first erupted , but only 1 out of 10 vehicles which cheat emissions got fixed. More than 1.2 million vehicles were affected by the emissions scandal in Britain, equivalent to nearly one in 10 of the country's diesel cars. Even though the carmaker has promised to fix the problem in only a year, only 110,000 vehicles in the UK got fixed. It's still unclear how much more people have to wait, since 9 out of 10 drivers are still waiting for their car to get fixed. The chair of Transport Select Committee, said the efforts...
