2020 BMW M8 Competition on the Track! | Tire Rack’s Hot Lap | MotorTrend

BMW’s M Division used to make cars known for three qualities: rear-drive, high-revving naturally-aspirated motors, and slick manual transmissions. Now, things are a little different, as exemplified by the new M8 Comp. These days, M-Cars have turbos, all-wheel drive and lightning-quick dual-clutch transmissions. To see if the spirit remains, Randy Pobst takes this bruiser out on Willow Springs for a fast lap. #TireRackHotLap #MotorTrend #BMW

Why is Jeep’s new Recon electric SUV sneaking around GM headquarters? [Image]

Image
It looks like GM is preparing for a new rival electric SUV to arrive in the US. Jeep’s upcoming Recon EV was just caught outside GM’s Detroit headquarters. What’s going on? Jeep Recon EV spotted outside GM headquarters Although the first all-electric Jeep, the Wagoneer S, will be at US dealerships any day, the brand’s second EV is generating even more excitement. Jeep’s upcoming Recon EV is “inspired by the legendary Wrangler.” In its tradition, the electric SUV will have options like removable doors and windows for that open-air feel. Former Jeep CEO Christian Meunier claimed it can even cross the Rubicon trail, reaching the end of it with “enough range to drive to town and recharge.” Leading up to its debut, we’ve seen Recon prototypes out in public testing several times. The closer it gets to production, the more it looks like a Ford Bronco. Most recently, Jeep’s new Recon EV was caught outside of GM headquarters in Detroit. The spotting by Kindelauto suggests GM could be b...

An all-electric pickup for under $14,000? That’s right. Geely’s Radar Auto launched its new “King Kong” EV pickup in China on Monday at an ultra-affordable price. Would you drive one? Radar launches King Kong EV pickup for under $14,000 Volvo and Polestar owner Geely Auto launched Radar, a new off-road-focused sub-brand, in 2022. Deemed “China’s first electric outdoor lifestyle brand,” Radar launched its first EV, the R6 pickup , in November 2022.

Tesla Autopilot Crash Data Shows Little To No Improvement For 2023

Image
Tesla a short while ago unveiled a new update to its Automobile Protection Report, revealing information for all 4 quarters of 2023. The voluntarily revealed quarterly studies incorporate the quantity of miles pushed for every incident registered when applying Autopilot technologies, not applying Autopilot technologies, and the U.S. typical (the most latest information readily available from NHTSA and FHWA for calendar 12 months 2022). The information provides us glimpses of how Autopilot increases auto basic safety, but it has some limits (much more on that at the base of this write-up) thanks to the methodology. For illustration, Tesla counts all mishaps, no matter of the trigger, even with the actuality that much more than 35 p.c of all Autopilot crashes arise when the Tesla auto is rear-finished by yet another auto, the business states.
