The conversion of the BMW 1 Series to the front-wheel drive platform in 2019 has also worried the fans of the BMW 2 Series Coupe, and despite some initial reports, the 2 Series Coupe will retain the rear-wheel drive and continue to provide excellent driving dynamics. The technical basis for the new BMW 2 Series Coupe is the CLAR architecture for vehicles with front engine and rear-wheel drive, which is also used by the next BMW 3 Series G20 or the BMW Z4 G29 . The two-door 2 Series takes on a special role within the compact BMW family...

 Thirty prototypes and production models that have marked the history of italdesign and, in many cases, also that of mobility. Visitors to Italian based company italdesign‘s event will be presented some prototypes that in the eighties and nineties offered solutions to the already pressing traffic problems in city centers.

Recent Tesla Autopilot crashes hold a lesson for the whole industry.

The crash happened in heavy traffic and left a biker with neck and shoulder injuries.

Waymo is racking up test miles faster and faster as a commercial launch nears.

New research has uncovered a previously unknown weakness in smart city systems: devices that trust each other. That could lead to some pretty terrible traffic, among other problems.

Tesla has to compete with BMW leasing its $50,000 i3 electric vehicle for only $54 a month. That’s not a typo. Bloomberg recently confirmed you could lease an i3 for less than your monthly cable bill.

It seems like a common convenience in a digital age: a car that can be powered on and off with the push of a button, rather than the mechanical turning of a key. But it is a convenience that can have a deadly effect. On a summer morning last year, Fred Schaub drove his Toyota RAV4 into the garage attached to his Florida home and went into the house with the wireless key fob, evidently believing the car was shut off. Twenty-nine hours later, he was found dead, overcome with carbon monoxide that flooded his home while he slept.

Volvo's North American CEO, Lex Kerssemakers, lost his cool as the automaker's semi-autonomous prototype sporadically refused to drive itself during a press event at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

When Ford Motor all but eliminated passenger cars from its North American lineup earlier this month to concentrate on trucks and S.U.V.s, it turned the page on a long and storied history of now-defunct but once red-hot nameplates: the Model T, the Model A, the Galaxie, the Fairlane, the Thunderbird and the Falcon, to name several. There was one conspicuous survivor: the Mustang.

When Consumer Reports recently found that the braking distance on the Tesla Model 3 was worse than that of a Ford F-150, CEO Elon Musk took the criticism and found a solution. Days later, Tesla shipped an over-the-air update that, according to CR’s testing, improved the braking distance by 19 feet. It’s a wild idea: your car automatically downloads some code, and it’s instantly safer. It also wasn’t possible even a few years ago, and some have held it up as an ideal example of how futuristic technologies can make our lives better.

Sport car maker Porsche will name its first all-electric car model the Taycan, it said on Friday, a year before it plans to launch serial production of a vehicle that will compete with Tesla's (NasdaqGS:TSLA - News) Model S.

Forthcoming electric crossover will begin production in 2020

Elon Musk, Alfred Sloan, and entrepreneurship in the automobile industry.

How a uniquely punitive impound program combined with the drug war and asset forfeiture to deprive people of their vehicles for years at a time.

Heads-up displays, once reserved for fighter jets and vehicles in sci-fi movies, are quickly proliferating in common cars. I’ve now tested BMWs, Cadillacs, Mercedes-Benzes, Mazdas and more with information projected onto their windshields—and I have yet to experience a HUD I like.

A car accident is not something you expect to happen in your life. But, with caution and better knowledge of what to do in that type of situation, you can be better prepared in case one does happen.

Mitsubishi Electric believes its AI-enhanced camera systems will make mirrors on cars obsolete and help make a dent in the annual roadway death toll

California's Department of Motor Vehicles established new rules announced Monday that will allow tech companies and others working on driverless vehicle..

They could actually make cities much worse.

Coddled by successive governments, the industry is dogged by dieselgate, lagging in electric vehicles and unsure about driverless cars

The comedy practically writes itself, this is almost effortless.

Luxury automaker Tesla is manufacturing a surprisingly high ratio of flawed parts and vehicles, according to several current and former employees, leading to more rework and repairs than can be contained at its factory in Fremont, California. Tesla's future as a mass-market carmaker hinges on efficient, automated production of the Model 3, which more than 400,000 people have already reserved, paying $1,000 refundable fees to do so. Musk said in July 2017 that Tesla would probably be making 20,000 Model 3s per month by December.

The RAV4 is the model that started it all in the compact crossover segment some 24 years ago, but along the way, you could say it lost its design luster becoming somewhat of a Camry of SUVs, even though it never lost its sales crown. Now, with the introduction of the fifth generation model at the New York Auto Show, Toyota is going back to its roots with a more brute interpretation, possibly making it the most interesting-looking RAV4 since the original of the mid-1990s.

Lincoln will add this new Aviator crossover to its lineup later this year, and we're getting our first glimpse at the New York Auto Show this week. There's lots to discuss with this new CUV, but the biggest news is definitely under the hood, where Lincoln is introducing a brand-new plug-in hybrid powertrain.

Production delays and other problems have presented the electric-car maker and its founder, Elon Musk, with a crisis of confidence among investors.

Hennessey Performance is proud to be chosen by Ford to own a 2018 Ford GT Heritage Edition. Here are some photos and video of the delivery in Sealy, Texas, received by John Hennessey and team.

This is the all-new fourth-generation Ford Focus, the marque’s crucial new family hatch to rival the Volkswagen Golf, Vauxhall Astra and the new Mercedes-Benz A-class. But the new Focus has a tough task ahead, because as well as traditional hatchback rivals, it also has to compete with ever-growing marketplace of similarly priced compact SUVs vying for family car buyers.

BMW, Chevrolet, Honda, Mercedes, and Tesla all have one thing in common besides making cars: Their cars all run Linux.

Uber Technologies is once again partnering with NASA, and according to the agency, their project will be modelling the flight of a small passenger-carrying aircraft.

Welcome to the latest one-off Ferrari. The SP38 – which uses the chassis and running-gear from a 488 GTB – was built for “one of Ferrari’s most dedicated customers” who has a “deep passion for racing”. The project’s “general direction” was therefore influenced by another twin-turbocharged Ferrari, the F40 – whose influence Ferrari says can be seen in the rear wing and engine cover. The former “creates a suggestive frame surrounding the tail volume”, and the latter is a clamshell-type arrangement in carbon-fibre

It’s hard to find a modern car that is “bad,” but some manufacturers are better than others when it comes to quality control. iSeeCars.com analyzed some data from the NHTSA and has come up with a list of the cars with the most and the least amount of recalls.

Fiat Chrysler is recalling 4.8 million vehicles over an issue that could prevent drivers from turning off cruise control. Only one incident related to the malfunction has been reported to Fiat Chrysler (FCAU), and there are no reported injuries.

It was the first fatal accident of its kind

Lamborghini and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) introduced the Terzo Millennio, an ultra-futuristic design study powered by electricity, last year to show what the eco-friendly sports car of tomorrow could look like. While the whole package tells a tale set in the relatively distant future, Digital Trends learned from Maurizio Reggiani, the head of Lamborghini’s research and development department, that it might not be as science fiction-esque as it appears.
