Uber’s not a $40 billion start-up. It’s a mid-sized car company.
As it puts together its latest round of fundraising, Uber has been valued at $40 billion. Many have found that figure eye-popping for a six-year-old ride-on-demand company. But at least some transportation scholars say that that figure isn't so crazy. To understand why, it helps to think of Uber's competition in the market not as taxi companies, nor even other alternative transportation options like Lyft or Zipcar.

Has Robocar Safety Been Hyped?
A study out today throws cold water on the accident-free paradise that proponents of autonomous cars have prophecied. Not only may robocars never be as safe as the best drivers, their growing pains may temporarily lower overall road safety, say Michael Sivak and Brandon Schoettle, psychologists at the University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute.

WTF! It Should Not Be Illegal to Hack Your Own Car's Computer
I spent last weekend elbow-deep in engine grease, hands tangled in the steel guts of my wife’s Mazda 3. It’s a good little car, but lately its bellyachings have sent me out to the driveway to tinker under the hood. I regularly hurl invectives at the internal combustion engine—but the truth is, I live for this kind of stuff. I come away from each bout caked in engine crud and sated by the sound of a purring engine. For me, tinkering and repairing are primal human instincts...

How Uber's Autonomous Cars Will Destroy 10 Million Jobs and Reshape the Economy by 2025
I have spent quite a bit of time lately thinking about autonomous cars, and I wanted to summarize my current thoughts and predictions. Most people – experts included – seem to think that the transition to driverless vehicles will come slowly over the coming few decades, and that large hurdles exist for widespread adoption. I believe that this is significant underestimation. Autonomous cars will be commonplace by 2025 and have a near monopoly by 2030, and the sweeping change they bring...

The New Tesla Car Has A Button Called ‘Insane Mode’ — Here’s What Happens When You Press It
Tesla introduced its dual-motor Model S late last year, and among the many improvements it has over the original Model S is its incredible acceleration. The standard Model S can go from 0 to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds, which is pretty fast, but the new dual-motor Model S can get there in just 3.2 seconds — "roller-coaster stuff," in other words.

Tesla Model S P85D revolutionised driving
You put your Tesla Model S in the garage last night. Before you went to sleep it did an already insane 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, but when you wake up it does that speed in 3.3 seconds without you doing a thing. Huh? This morning Tesla Motors issued a software update to their Model S P85D model that will make the car even faster. Being able to make your car meaningfully faster through an over-the-air update, much like something you would get on your phone is something that...

BMW i8: Reviewing The Car Of Tomorrow
We were promised flying cars, teleportation and hover boards. We don’t have any of that. But now we have this: The BMW i8 and it’s a future that cannot get here soon enough. My body hurt. My mind was numb. I had just spent a week in Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show and was ready to fly home. But first I had to drive a brand-new 2015 BMW i8 to L.A. It’s a rough job, but someone has to do it. The i8 is BMW’s latest supercar, able to go 0 to 60 in about 4.4 seconds...
