As much as I like smartphone projection systems like Android Auto and Apple Carplay, they won't last in their current form.
I’ve been an advocate of smartphone projection infotainment solutions in cars ever since Ford introduced SYNC AppLink back in 2010. That appreciation has grown recently since the rollout of Apple C…
Amazingly, it's been 9 years since I first wrote about the Chevrolet Volt concept and since then I drove numerous development prototypes of the first-gen model. But last week was actually my first extended driving experience with a Volt.
As I sit down to write these words about the 2016 Chevrolet Volt, I just realized that it has been almost exactly 10 years since Jon Lauckner and Bob Lutz sat down and sketched out the basic architecture for what they hoped would be a truly practical plug-in car. In the days and weeks that …

As far as autonomous driving goes, it’s still a bit of a freaky concept for most of us—whether we can trust the cars to detect objects, stay in their lanes and, oh, not kill us. In a test of the autopilot sensors on the Tesla Model S that included things from stuffed animals to kids, a YouTube user found some odd results.
For me this is a no-brainer. Whatever incremental advantages the Samsung might have in some hardware areas, there is one factor that will always decide this fight, TouchWiz. Nexus 6P FTW!
We’ve seen how the new Samsung Galaxy S7 measures up against the flagship models that were launched with it at the Mobile world Congress in Barcelona not a few weeks back. But we’re never going to …
While Samsung makes some very high quality hardware, stupid, arbitrary design decisions like those listed in this article are why I will never buy one of their phones.
In recent years, we have spent a whole heck of a lot of time talking about the reasons we love certain phones and why you should buy them. We do that because we’re positive people for the most part and would rather spend our time focusing on the good stuff that are a part of …
Self-driving cars that talk to each other get a better feel for each other's intent, potentially avoiding incidents like the most recent +Google self-driving car incident.
OS X has its first active case of ransomware, the impending roll out of V2V technology and how that will improve the safety of autonomous vehicles, the founder of 4chan has taken a…
Self-driving cars need help to gauge intent the way humans communicate non-verbally (or sometimes very verballly 🙂 )
FILE – In this May 13, 2014, file photo, a Google self-driving car goes on a test drive near the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, Calif. California state officials on Thursday, June 18, 2015 released reports detailing six accidents that involved self-driving car prototypes, reversing a policy that had […]
Most of what +Ashlee Vance wrote about Elon Musk in his 2015 biography is consistent with my own experience. However one passage about winter testing in Sweden couldn't be more wrong
Tesla Roadster prototype during winter testing in Sweden in 2007 (image credit: Tesla Motors) I’ve finally just gotten around to reading Ashlee Vance’s 2015 biography of Elon Musk and overall I found it very interesting, well written and largely resistant to buying into the Elon cult of personality. Vance spoke with […]
