The Teamsters of California is calling for the suspension of Waymo's operations in the state amid growing safety and job security concerns.

The union, which has 250,000 members across dozens of industries, called on the California Public Utilities Commission on Monday to indefinitely suspend the driverless car company's license to operate. The ...Read more

Self-driving cars such as Waymos could soon roam the streets of Chicago under new legislation proposed in Springfield.

A bill filed last week would authorize autonomous vehicle pilot programs in a handful of Illinois counties, including Cook, before opening the door to statewide legalization of self-driving cars in three years.

The proposal ...Read more

As the National Automobile Dealers Association prepares to meet this week in Las Vegas for its annual convention, dealers say moving online is critical for the industry to compete with digital-only vehicle marketplaces and combat the "sleazy" car salesperson trope.

The popularity of e-commerce has changed even purchases of vehicles worth tens ...Read more

A future with flying cars is no longer science fiction — all you need to order your own is about $200,000 and some hope and patience.

The Palo Alto-based company Pivotal has been developing the technology since 2009 and is nearly ready to bring it to market. The company's founder Marcus Leng was the first to fly in its real-life version of a ...Read more

The Chevy Colorado is simpler to buy than it was a few years ago -- because now it only comes in one configuration -- crew cab, with a 5-foot bed -- and with just one engine, a turbocharged four.

This truck used to be available in extended cab or crew cab configurations, and you used to be able to pick from three different engines, ranging from...Read more

Would you pay $8,800 more to get a Honda HR-V with less engine but more power? What if it were badged as an Acura -- and came standard with a larger touch screen than you'd get in the Honda?

Behold, the Acura ADX!

But is it worth almost $9,000 more than an HR-V?

What It Is

The ADX is Acura's smallest, least expensive model. It's a ...Read more

Electric vehicles have brought something back to the lower end of the new car market that's been absent from that end of the market for decades:

Rear-wheel drive.

It was once common for even economy cars to be rear-wheel drive. Examples include the Ford Pinto, Chevy Chevette and Datsun B210. Front-wheel drive became standard in pretty much ...Read more

The problem with sedans is that they're impractical. Even the full-size ones have proportionately tiny trunks that make it difficult to carry both people and their things. It's not like it was once -- when big American sedans that had huge trunks were common. In fact, there are no longer any American sedans being made -- except for...Read more

Jaguar has the same problem that Chrysler's dealing with. Both of these brands currently have just one new model to sell. For Chrysler, it's the Pacifica minivan. For Jaguar, it's the F-Pace, which is an SUV.

Both brands haven't got anything else to sell at the moment because they intended to be selling something different -- electric vehicles ...Read more

Lincoln no longer sells a full-size luxury sedan -- the kind of car that could carry five to six people in ultra-quiet comfort. That was -- for decades -- the Town Car, which Lincoln stopped selling after 2011, which was also the last year the Ford it was based on (the Crown Vic) was available.

Both of these full-size sedans were replaced by ...Read more

Buicks aren't usually associated with affordability. Not that there's anything wrong with affordable brands. The point is that Buick is generally considered at least an almost-luxury-car brand, in the same general class as Audi, Acura and Volvo -- if not quite Lexus and Mercedes.

None of the latter sell anything that starts under $30,000.

But ...Read more

It used to be that a luxury brand's least expensive model was smaller and for that reason less practical than the more expensive models. It also usually looked like the least expensive model.

The upside was the lower price.

BMW's 2 Series Gran Coupe has a different upside. It doesn't look like BMW's second-least expensive sedan, the 3 ...Read more
