The future is hard to predict. Unless you’re a Simpsons writer. But just like the FOX show predicted, self-driving cars are the way of the future, with hopes of ending a host of problems, such as traffic fatalities, congestion, driver shortages, and much more. The most common example is Tesla’s Autopilot. In 2013, Elon Musk…
In a world where Netflix is cracking down on those who share passwords outside of their families, subscriptions have come under increased scrutiny for how they’ve been used, or rather misused, by consumers, leading to a loss of potential revenue for these large corporations. While many streaming users were maddened by Netflix’s decision, the choice…
Tesla went from a niche automaker to making the world’s bestsellers in just over a decade, without any advertising either. Toyota dropped its renown 4.6 and 5.7L V8’s from its dead reliable Tundra, Land Cruiser, Lexus LX, and LS to meet emission standards. Ford’s BlueCruise and GM’s Super Cruise were unheard of 10 years ago,…

Europeans have always their advantages over the US. Affordable healthcare and education, better food standards, good public transportation, adaptive headlights, etc. However, that last one won’t last for long. This November, President Biden signed a new infrastructure bill that targeted most of the usual — funding for roads, bridges, highways — and a forbidden fruit:…
It seems like everyone is using 3D printing now—and the trend isn’t slowing down. For example, we’ve covered the likes of Chevy and Porsche to Czinger and Bugatti. But Volkswagen is now betting on a new method of this revolution, the binder jetting process. Traditionally, parts have been made using a laser that binds layer…
Looks like everyone is betting big on the electrification of cars. Ford controversially named an electric SUV after its iconic gas-guzzling sports car, Toyota is set to reveal its first EV next month at the Shanghai Motor Show, Kia and Hyundai have each released one recently, Audi and Porsche have created Model S competitors, and…
“Alexa, I need an oil change,” said no one ever. Until now. Everyone has heard of Amazon’s Alexa, a digital personal assistant that allows you to do tasks simply through your voice. If I can order pizza from Domino’s within seconds, then why can’t I schedule maintenance for my car the same way? Well, that’s…
While EVs are becoming more popular, electric technology is being added to combustion engines as well. In recent times, turbochargers have been getting more advanced to combat the much-hated turbo lag. In short, a turbocharger forces more air into an engine, creating more combustion and therefore more power. The problem, turbo lag, occurs because the…
