The family of a Florida man who died in a high-speed accident involving a Tesla has sued the automaker, alleging that his Tesla's battery was defective and that the company was negligent when it removed a speed governor on the car. According to the lawsuit, Edgar Monserratt v. Tesla—which was filed Tuesday in Broward County court—Monserratt's 18-year-old son was a front-seat passenger in a 2014 Tesla S being driven by another person, Barrett Riley.

Tesla drivers calls it “ICE-ing”, after the initials for internal combustion engine: It’s where gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles block access to Superchargers as a way to... protest electric vehicles I guess? It has to be frustrating to be barred from obtaining the single thing your car needs to function, but it looks like Tesla owners are looking at new ways to fight back.

I’m an accidental killer – and thousands of Americans share this secret shame. How can you recover from the trauma of accidentally killing someone?

When a pair of California Highway Patrol officers pulled alongside a car cruising down Highway 101 in Redwood City before dawn Friday, they reported a shocking sight: a man fast asleep behind the wheel. The car was a Tesla, the man was a Los Altos planning commissioner, and the ensuing freeway stop turned into a complex, seven-minute operation in which the officers had to outsmart the vehicle’s autopilot system because the driver was unresponsive, according to the CHP. The arrest of 45-year-old Alexander Samek on suspicion of drunken driving reignited questions about the uses, and potential abuses, of self-driving technology.

Imagine: You’re driving a car, and the driver ahead of you is behaving erratically. He can’t stay in a lane. He puts on his left turn signal but doesn’t turn. He slows to a near stop for no apparent reason, then surges forward. Finally, he makes a right turn from...

Pro Tip: Turn your volume down to save your ear drums a bit of vibration.

Cops may still write you a ticket for yakking on a handheld phone while driving. But the link between cellphone use and accidents looks more tenuous if you agree with the conclusions of a recent study from Carnegie Mellon University and the London School of Economics and Political Science. Using statistics and data comparisons, the researchers found that the increased use of cellphones has led to no measurable increase in accidents.

When I heard that Ron Howard was taking on similar material in straightforward dramatic form with Rush—a kind of joint biopic of ’70s Formula One stars Niki Lauda and James Hunt—I wondered if it was possible to make a movie about a death match between racing rivals without slipping into parody. But Howard has done it: Rush is an outsize Hollywood spectacle about two outsize personalities in conflict, a sleekly assembled thrill machine that makes up in excitement for what it lacks in nuance.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says it will work to change its strategic plan to ensure the safety of the U.S.’s growing population of older drivers and passengers.

Infiniti’s G37 has long been the star of Nissan’s luxury brand, largely because it’s been a hands-on car. Now, girding for an autonomous future, Infiniti is trying hands-off instead.

Good news for high-speed renegades chasing cross-country, “Cannonball Run” driving records or impatient motorists looking to shave a few seconds off their crosstown commute: Audi is developing a dashboard system that will let drivers know how long they have before upcoming traffic lights change color. The feature will essentially let drivers adjust their speed, so the road ahead is nothing but green lights.

This week, the City of Westminster, one of London’s local councils, will start embedding the first of 3,000 sensors into the streets. They will be in the ground by the end of March, making London the world’s first major city to adopt the long-heralded “smart parking” revolution.

A court in Southern California has dismissed what was apparently the first-ever traffic citation issued for wearing Google Glass while driving. Cecilia Abadie was stopped for speeding in late October. When a California Highway Patrol officer approached her, he noticed she was wearing the Google Glass device and issued a second ticket for that.

An accident caused by zero visibility on the road.

Whether this is the right answer is not clear. The situation is a special case of warnings to hide one’s illegal conduct because the police are coming — “abort the plan to rob the store” or “flush the drugs down the toilet.” True, here that is done by a stranger rather than by a lookout who’s in league with the criminals, but it’s not clear why that should make a constitutionally significant difference.

A suspected drunk driver going in the wrong direction on the 60 Freeway in Diamond Bar was traveling faster than 100 mph when she caused an accident early Sunday that killed six people, witnesses told the California Highway Patrol.

The idea of being fined for crossing the road at the wrong place can bemuse foreign visitors to the US, where the origins of so-called jaywalking lie in a propaganda campaign by the motor industry in the 1920s.

Drivers in California can legally read a map on their hand-held cellphones while behind the wheel, a state appeals court ruled Thursday. The 5th District Court of Appeal reversed the case of a Fresno man who was ticketed in January 2012 for looking at a map on his iPhone 4 while stuck in traffic. The driver, Steven Spriggs, challenged the $165 fine and won.

There’s an open secret in America: If you want to kill someone, do it with a car. As long as you’re sober, chances are you’ll never be charged with any crime, much less manslaughter. Over the past hundred years, as automobiles have been woven into the fabric of our daily lives, our legal system has undermined public safety, and we’ve been collectively trained to think of these deaths as unavoidable “accidents” or acts of God.

Car manufacturers are always looking for ways to make driving safer. And in the future, dashboard emotion detectors could search for signs of irritation in a bid to identify the first signs of road rage. A prototype of the device is able to read a driver’s facial expressions using a tiny embedded camera.

Slow drivers, tailgaters, lane cutters — they’re all fuel for road rage. While motorists may feel justified slamming the steering wheel, flipping the bird or swearing a blue streak, this kind of irritation makes drivers more aggressive and less attentive.

Hauling a truckload of logs to a Southern Oregon mill last fall, Chris Hill noticed a sheriff's deputy behind him and flashed his lights to warn a UPS driver coming the other way. The deputy pulled over Hill on U.S. Highway 140 in White City and handed him a $260 ticket for improperly using his headlights, saying another deputy had seen the flashing lights from behind the UPS truck and alerted him to stop the log truck because of the signaling.

When you see another driver texting, it may make you nervous. You're trying to drive safely, while this jerk is recklessly blasting out emoticons. One Florida man was so fed up that he decided to make a no-phones policy mandatory for the people driving around him during his commute. He got a jammer and shut their cellphone use down.

Video taken on Long Island, NY. Trucks here are not supposed to drive on the parkways, due to low overpasses. Earlier today, as I was driving, I saw a tractor trailer driving down the parkway in the right lane. I knew that something was about to happen, and I immediately started recording. Soon after I started recording, the truck struck an overpass, and was obliterated. I pulled over to make sure the driver was okay. He was fine, but clearly upset.

Seoul has created special women-only parking spots to make the South Korea capital more female-friendly - not, apparently, as a statement on the gender's driving ability. The city is spending around $100 million on initiatives including the new parking spaces that are dubbed 'she-spots' and come marked with bright pink outlines and a skirted woman logo.

Police say a 19-year-old man caused a three-car crash when he fainted while holding his breath as he drove through a tunnel in Oregon. According to a news release, Daniel J Calhon told investigators he fainted on Sunday afternoon while holding his breath in the Highway 26 tunnel near the community of Manning.

In Miami, a city that's fought against ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft, cops are running a sting to catch Lyft drivers and tow their cars, the Miami Herald's Patricia Mazzei reports. One driver, Juan Arango, picked up an undercover cop on his first ride and was pulled over shortly after dropping the passenger off. His car was then towed. The same thing happened to another Lyft driver shortly after.
