BMW Connected Drive North America App Debuts, Wants to Assist You
http://ift.tt/1Rswkaj
At the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show in January, BMW offered peeks at its idea of a fully connected future, one which revolves around the so-called “Internet of Things.” The Internet of Things is the notion that connected devices, homes, cars, and appliances can all talk to one another, leading to new dimensions of automation and man-machine cooperation. We’re still waiting on that C-3PO personal assistant,...
Ford Issues Recalls Affecting Explorer, Transit, F-650/F-750, and Lincoln MKC
http://ift.tt/1RNy1hB
Ford announced a trio of recalls today for issues affecting the Lincoln MKC, the Explorer, the Transit van, and the F-650 and F-750 trucks.
Faulty engine-block heaters are the problem for the Explorer and the MKC. When the vehicle is parked and the heater is plugged in, the unit can overheat, possibly causing an engine fire. Ford knows of two such fires but no injuries. The affected models include 3129 Lincoln...
This Is the Design for Roborace’s Self-Driving Race Car
http://ift.tt/1SCaNLp
We first learned about Formula E’s plan to launch an autonomous racing series a few months ago. At the time, not much was known about the plan, but as ludicrous as racing cars that drive themselves might sound, the organizers insisted they were serious.
They even went so far as to hire a man named Daniel Simon to design the race cars. Simon is best known for his work designing the light cycles...

While the image is blurry, it’s clear that the Model 3 will occupy a sort of middle ground between the sleek Model S hatchback and the taller Model X crossover.
Tesla won’t pull the covers off the Model 3 until late tonight, but we have heard...

As much as we like the idea of a car that’s only available with a manual transmission, it’s not exactly a solid sales strategy in the U.S. So it’s probably smart of Ford to add an automatic-transmission option to the 1.0-liter three-cylinder-equipped Ford Focus for 2016. Previously available with only a six-speed...
