Owning a Rimac Nevera should be an extraordinary experience, but one owner recently found himself having trouble with something far more basic: getting into the car. A video shared on social media shows the owner repeatedly trying to open the Nevera’s door, but it refuses to cooperate. He makes several attempts and even tries using the key, yet the door remains shut as a few people watch the unusual situation unfold. The problem eventually appears to be resolved. Later in the video, the doors can be seen open. Apparently, the owner spoke with someone over the phone. Perhaps he contacted…
Tesla is rolling out a new version of its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) software that can take control of your car to avoid a crash, even when you’re driving manually. The automaker announced the feature, part of FSD Supervised v14.3.9, in a post from its AI team early Friday. FSD steps in even when you’re not using it Tesla said v14.3.9 is “starting to roll out shortly” and includes what it calls “a new active safety feature set.” FSD Supervised “can now activate on your behalf when an imminent collision is detected and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) may not be enough,”…
Defender is preparing to launch its first fully electric SUV, a compact off-roader that’s expected to debut by the end of the year. When will Defender launch the Sport EV? After the Range Rover Electric finally went on sale earlier this week, JLR is preparing to introduce its first EV under the Defender brand. The electric SUV is expected to arrive in 2027, likely as the Defender Sport EV, and could make its official debut by the end of the year. While the Range Rover Electric is fairly expensive, starting at £154,070 in the UK and about $140,000 in the…
There’s a fairly wide spectrum of moped-style electric bikes these days. Some are essentially conventional e-bikes wearing motorcycle-inspired designs, while others lean so heavily into the mini-moto experience that the pedals start to feel like little more than a legal technicality. The Macfox X1S definitely falls closer to that second group. After spending some time riding the bike, I don’t think this is the model I’d recommend to someone who actually enjoys pedaling. But if you want a fun little urban runabout with a motorcycle-inspired design, fat tires, and a right-hand throttle for cruising around at compliant 20 mph (32…
The original category scores were impressive, though, at 97 per cent for adult occupant protection and 87 per cent for child occupant protection. All cars feature automatic emergency braking that can spot cars, pedestrians and large animals, while a lane departure system will intervene and steer the car back into the lane if it senses a potential collision with oncoming traffic. Pilot Assist is Volvo’s semi-autonomous driving tech, and this comes as standard on Plus, Plus Pro and Ultra models, while it’s an option on Core trim. This adds adaptive cruise control that can steer, accelerate and brake in slow-moving traffic,…
Let’s start with the good news before we get to the grim bulletin on car insurance. According to Insurify, which tracks over 250 million policies, last year car insurance rates actually fell in 39 states. Sadly, they predict that they’re due to climb again, and if you compare the average rate at the end of 2021, $1,567, with the average rate today of $2,237 you’ll see a remarkably unpleasant increase of 43%. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says that the climb has been even steeper when measured from 2022 to today, rocketing up 56%. Which, yes, explains why some drivers are…

Tesla launched the all-electric, steering wheel-less, and pedal-less Cybercab last night at a quiet and small event in downtown Austin, Texas. The launch, which marked the beginning of unsupervised ride-hailing for Tesla’s Robotaxi platform with Cybercab, has already caught the attention of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) who has more questions. NHTSA opened an Audit Query (AQ) into the Cybercab’s Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) certification that Tesla gave the vehicle. Manufacturers self-certify vehicles much of the time to avoid excessive regulatory delays. Tesla Cybercab interior, note the lack of steering wheel and pedals. (Credit: @niccruzpatane/X< /a>)…
