That’s not a secret that new cars are much safer than old cars, but what we did not know is by how much. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration just released a report highlighting the added safety of newer cars and trucks over older cars and trucks, and attaching real data to an otherwise assumed theory is always a good idea. Here are some of the most powerful data points worth seeing:55 percent: Occupants fatally injured in vehicles built prior to 198453 percent: Occupants fatally injured in vehicles built between 1985 and 199246 percent: Occupants fatally injured in v...
Tesla has issued a voluntary recall for around 123,000 early made Model S sedans due to complaints from some owners about corroding power-steering bolts that are exposed regularly to calcium or magnesium road salts.

The voluntary recall relates to Model S sedans that were manufactured previous to April 2016. Model S sedans manufactured after this date seem to be unaffected. The bolts, that w...

The driver had about five seconds and 150 meters of unobstructed view of the concrete divider with the crushed crash attenuator, but the vehicle logs show that he did not take any action. Tesla did not mention why the Autopilot system did not detec...
