In just a few hours car companies will reveal their sales results for this November and we expect them to be not so bad since they had many chances to increase their income due to Thanksgiving holidays. We project a total U.S. vehicle sales for this month, including fleet and deliveries to hit 1.367 million units,, which is up 3.6% from the same period last year. On a daily selling rate basis, adjusted for the extra sales days, we expect transactions to decline by upward of 4.7% year over year. And excluding fleet sales, deliveries made to rental-car companies and other bulk buyers,...
Ontario plans to become the first province to allow self-driving vehicles to be tested on public roads. Testing of autonomous or self-driving vehicles can begin as early as Jan. 1, as Ontario seeks to grab a share of the billions of dollars auto makers, parts companies and technology giants are spending to develop cars that drive themselves. The province’s move will create better opportunities for Canadian companies to test components and show automakers their technologies. The prospect of self-driving cars was believed to be decades away, but tech companies and automakers are...
General Motors unveiled its semi-autonomous "Super Cruise" system to allow drivers on highways to let the vehicle take over driving itself. In case if the road has too many twists and turns or the vehicle detects the driver is not paying attention, it issues a series of alerts.

The U.S. auto sales forecast in 2016 remains at 17.4 million vehicles, but with a bias toward the upside. That would allow a new record beyond last year's record of 17.39 million vehicles or 17.47 million vehicles. Next year is pivotal for the auto industry, due to the chance of an economic stimulus plan under a Donald Trump presidency and the likelihood that attractive consumer discounts, or incentives, are pulling some 2017 sales into the current year. The U.S. economy and auto industry could be facing a boom or bust, depending on which policies are focused on and implem...
A group of automakers and tech firms advocating for autonomous vehicles has called on U.S. regulators to change federal auto safety standards that effectively prohibit the operation of a car without the presence of a driver. The Self-Driving Coalition for Safer Streets wants the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to amend certain Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards that it says limit fully autonomous vehicles, the group said in a statement. The group, whose founding members are Ford Motor Co., Google, Volvo, Uber and Lyft, also called on Congress to enact legislation ...
