I agree with you in public parking lots. We have enough idiots who speed or are oblivious to humans in parking lots. However, I do see the utility of Smart Summon on private property like my house. I have a pretty large garage but with three cars it kinda sucks to squeeze into the drivers seat. I would love to use…

I’m originally from South Florida so my Dad always went with his buddies to races on the weekends. I still remember the night my Dad told me to pull out my Transformers suitcase and start packing. We hopped in his car and started heading North. We arrived in Daytona just before daybreak and sat on the side of the road…

Yeah, Tesla catches a lot of flak for the collisions that do occassionally happen but their AutoPilot system actually works. So does Volvo’s Forward Collision tech which would have stopped the XC90 Uber outfitted for autonomous driving. But in their infinite wisdom they DISABLED Volvo’s system. I am shocked Volvo…

I was waiting for this announcement after the strike lasted for so long. It's actually a benefit to GM to allow them to iron out any production hiccups. It's not everyday that GM begins production of a mid-engine vehicle. There will be 1st model year quality issues. Every automaker has a few. I'm looking at you Ford…

What the hell is that thing? I can't decide if I should be scared or excited.

This just goes to show how long people have been trying to civilize a military truck that’s been on sale since 1979. It’s basically an Austrian Hummer. My favorite part of Gelandewagen history is it was built after a suggestion from the Shah of Iran. Now it’s the most popular grocery-getter in Beverly Hills. Nice.

Please promise me you’ll never change Torch.

What’s a Nissan Kicks?

1st Gear: This is the first Volvo (Okay... Polestar) that I have ever drooled over. Absolutely gorgeous.

After they fired Barry the principal writers left Deadspin en masse. So now all the articles are a ‘collaborative effort’ with no bylines. I am in mourning that the sports blog that stubbornly refused to be tamed has been neutered instead. I have so much respect for the writers that quit rather than work for a bunch…

Best car = rally car. Alpine was the only reason I was hoping for a FCA-Renault merger. I really want an Alpine A110...

They spend lots of money on all of the above plus they dump a ton of money on advertising and R&D on autonomous mobility. They really want to get rid of those pesky squishbags that drive the cars. They also price their services at or below cost to squeeze out existing cabbies and Lyft.

Uber will definitely still be here in 10 years but it may be a radically transformed company. Uber at its very core is a transport dispatch platform. It revolutionized the cab and private car industry by using technology to make hailing a ride almost seamless.

Hey Torch, drugs are bad mmmkay... No, I like where you’re going with this but if we have friendly giants I’m not driving. I will have my very own giant that carries me around in his shirt pocket.

Great article Bradley! I am seriously pulling for Ford and this new Bronco. I have been begging for someone (anyone!) to build a capable Wrangler competitor. Not that I don’t love the Wrangler (I’ve owned two) but a real doors off, roof down, rock crawling and hose out midsize truck. Jeep keeps improving the Wrangler…

I love stories like these. Here is a purple near worthless W203 with a bunch of ‘shady’ aftermarket labels and mods. Who wants this piece of... wait a minute. Oh, it was specially built for the former head of AMG and RENNTech North America? Nice. Not quick by today’s standards but awesome all the same.

I absolutely love what Johnathan Ward has done with ICON and their products. They don’t just take an old FJ or Bronco and add some paint and off-road bits and call it a day. They literally deconstruct the vehicle and rebuild it with bespoke parts to your exact specifications. All of the cheap, flimsy parts that the…

Love you Torch. I’m pretty sure in 1982 they wouldn’t have believed that we'd have a failed developer/reality tv star as president, private equity firms that own damn near everything and still no flyng cars. Honestly, I’d take the Blade Runner dystopia.

Thank you. I am not in NYC nor have I ever met anyone from Gawker - G/O Media but I was initially extremely angry about the takedown of gawker. Then I have had to watch the insanity since with disgust. The silver lining is that your resistance has shown future journalists that integrity is ABOVE ALL the most important…

Just because several hacks at the UAW and Chrysler have been corrupt does NOT mean that union = corrupt. Unions have been infiltrated by criminals and charlatans just like our government. We need both in our society: organized labor groups and the federal government. But yeah, I want every corrupt union official and…
