Reverse driving accounts for just 1% of all driving time, yet it's responsible for roughly 25% of all accidents. A dirty backup camera in winter, mud season, or on dusty country roads is not a hypothetical inconvenience but a genuine safety liability, one that most drivers have resigned themselves to either living with or solving by stepping out of the car every time.

The vibration into the chassis is causing a few reliability problems: mirrors falling off, tail lights falling off, all that sort of thing, which we are having to address. Fernando [Alonso] is of the feeling that he can't do more than 25 laps consecutively before he risks permanent nerve damage to his hands.

Porter complained about difficulties when trying to insert lines in Excel. (Which, to be fair to Microsoft, is relatively straightforward - need to insert a row? Right-click on a selected row. Need to insert a line in text? Alt+Return is probably going to be your friend.) But then Porter turned to that other productivity stalwart, Word. "Never underestimate Microsoft's ability to make things more complicated," he said.

Sometimes I'm rather impressed by the ingenuity of those in the business of making scammy gadgets. Over the years, I've examined a wide range of products, from scam devices that claim to save you money on your power bill to a high-power USB charger filled with an unusual goo-like substance.

The hybrid controller features a miniature direct-drive steering wheel positioned in the center, delivering force feedback and 1080-degree rotation for immersive racing game action. Designer: Gamesir For racing sim fans, the quandary has always been to either choose a portable setup, or go for more detailed but bulky setups. This gamepad hits the sweet spot for casual gamers like me who always wanted something that's compact.

Honda and DriveOhio have teamed up on a new road safety initiative in which Honda vehicles are being used to collect real-time data that can advise about potential issues and road deficiencies before they become a problem. Honda's Proactive Roadway Maintenance System, which has been in prototyping since 2021, uses "advanced vision and LiDAR sensors" to identify issues such as worn or obstructed road signs, damaged guardrails, rough roads and emerging potholes.

Unveiled at CES 2026, the design responds to automated riding, especially Level 4 driving, where the vehicle can manage all driving tasks within certain conditions without human input. The retractable steering wheel is co-developed with Tensor's Robocar autonomous driving system. When the vehicle switches into Level 4 autonomous mode, the steering wheel retracts, clearing the driver's area. This creates more space in the cabin and allows the front seat area to function more like a living or working space rather than a traditional cockpit.

For years, car dealerships had a terrible reputation. Pushy sales tactics, confusing pricing, and long hours spent negotiating made the entire experience feel more like a battle than a purchase. Like many buyers, I assumed that avoiding dealerships altogether was the smartest way to buy a car, especially as online platforms and direct-to-consumer models gained popularity. Over time, however, my perspective began to shift.

It's helpful to know that the lack of physical buttons isn't just a trend pushed by designers-the bean counters like it, too. It's quicker-and therefore cheaper-during assembly to just fit a capacitive touch module that controls multiple settings or switches than it is to have individual buttons, each connected to a wiring loom. Which is why we're seeing the controls for heating and cooling the interior, the headlights, seat heaters, and more move from knobs and dials and sliders and buttons to touch panels.

General Motors' Super Cruise is among the most popular and sophisticated advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) in the U.S., alongside Ford's BlueCruise and Tesla's Autopilot. The hands-free system, which is capable of accelerating, braking and steering on its own in certain conditions while you actively monitor the road, now has more than 625,000 active users across the U.S. and Canada. Those drivers have access to over 750,000 miles of mapped roads, making Super Cruise one of the most widely deployed hands-free systems on the market today.

The all-new Volvo EX60 is here, but the Swedish automaker had an ace up its sleeve at the launch event in Stockholm today: the EX60 Cross Country. It is the latest in a long line of rugged-looking Volvo wagons, spanning all the way back to 1997 when the V70 XC debuted. Based on the regular EX60, the 2028 Volvo EX60 Cross Country comes with all the goodies of the base model, but ups the game with something that few, if any, models in the segment currently offer: an adjustable air suspension.
