+7 +1This $30,000 Chevy Is the Best Thing That Could Happen to Electric Cars
General Motors kicked off the Detroit auto show Monday, not with a bang, but with the hum of an all-electric concept car—and a lot of ensuing buzz. The Chevy Bolt—not to be confused with the plug-in hybrid Chevy Volt, which has been on the market for four years—would have a range of 200 miles and a target price of $30,000 after federal rebates, GM said. It sports a trendy “crossover” design, a 10-inch touchscreen, and multiple driving modes that trade off efficiency for performance.

Many British people are “horrified” by the idea of self-driving cars, according to a new survey. Autonomous cars are set to begin trials later this month in four British cities, and they took centre stage at this week’s Consumer Electronics Show, but the British public are still unconvinced. Almost half of consumers wouldn’t want to be a passenger in such a vehicle, and 43 per cent wouldn’t trust it to drive safely, according to the research...

+22 +1Elon Musk says Tesla is revealing a new Roadster this week
In a busy year for Elon Musk, in which he designed rockets, unveiled supercars, and got into the satellite business, the billionaire inventor could almost be forgiven for overlooking a promise he made back in June, to reveal a new version of the Tesla Roadster before the end of 2014. But it now looks like Musk will make good on his plan — the Tesla CEO said in a tweet that he'd outline the "fairly exciting update" to the car company's first electric car this week.

+16 +1The new BMW i3 is a city car for the future
With the new i3 electric vehicle (EV) city car, BMW is making a pretty clear statement—the company is serious about designing and building cars properly adapted for the 21st century. It’s a radical departure from the Bavarian automaker’s mainstream offerings, looking like little else on the road. In fact, its looks alone are polarizing enough for some people to dismiss it instantly (looking at you, Senior Reviews Editor Lee Hutchinson). But keep an open mind about the i3's appearance, and you to

+13 +1Jaguar's smart windshield will eliminate blind spots
It's hard to spot every possible road hazard. Mirrors and cameras will show what's behind you, but your car's roof pillars can still hide careless pedestrians and aggressive drivers. They won't be issues if Jaguar's 360-degree Virtual Urban Windscreen comes to fruition. The update to the company's windshield project uses cameras to create "transparent" pillars which highlight threats you can't see, giving you an extra moment to take evasive action.

When Jay Rogers drove away from the International Manufacturing Technology Show in September and toured around Chicago in a two-seater, you could be forgiven for not paying much attention. Unless, of course, you’d watched it rise up out of a 3D printer the size of a shipping container over the past 44 hours. Meet the world’s first 3D printed electric car. This model, called the Strati, is the result of a four-and-a-half month process...

+19 +1A System That Any Automaker Can Use to Build Self-Driving Cars
Google gets most of the attention when it comes to self-driving cars. And when it isn’t getting all the love, people focus on the efforts of premier automakers like Audi and Tesla. But the autonomous vehicle that makes human driving a quaint pastime may well come from an auto industry stalwart many people have never heard of: Delphi.

+17 +1This 21-year-old is painting the most insane sci-fi vehicles on the planet
One quick glance at Saleem's website shows just how deep that fascination is: the page is covered in insane, futuristic vehicles that wouldn't look out of place in some new blockbuster video game. His pieces often take modern vehicles and splice them with space age tech and vivid, colorful paint jobs. Sometimes he even skips the modern part and goes straight to making crazy spaceships. "I'm not sure if I'm fully sold on the whole flying cars thing yet, however," he says.

+14 +1Police cars that make sure cops don't break the law are coming in 2015
According to at least one study, observing police officers on the job leads to a massive decrease in citizens making brutality complaints. Now that same philosophy is being taken with how officers drive their cars while on the job. Ford, makers of various Police Interceptor models, has developed a system that relays telematics of driver behavior directly back to HQ, presumably for a heavy-set officer to scream at them when they get back.

The newest concept car from Mercedes-Benz is the Vision G-Code, a stout silver vehicle that looks like it's from the near future. Unveiled this week, the concept SUV — or SUC (Sports Utility Coupé) as the German carmaker calls it — boasts all sorts of futuristic features.
