Filed under: Transportation Not that we haven’t seen similar technology from other outfits before, but we’ll take as many in-car safety advancements as we can get.

Filed under: Robots, Transportation We’re always hearing about some fantastical, nigh-mythical creation that Carnegie Mellon University is in the midst of cobbling together from spare parts, crazy ideas, and pure, simple genius, so maybe we shouldn’t be frothing over the new robotic truck they’ve partnered up with Caterpillar to create, but this one promises to be [...]

Filed under: Misc. Gadgets, Transportation You’re a good person with noble motivations — you ride a bicycle instead of driving because it’s healthy and it doesn’t have a disastrously negative impact on the environment.

The forthcoming Model S — an all-electric, five passenger sports sedan that will ride on a platform developed entirely by Tesla — has apparently been revealed.

Filed under: Transportation We’ve all seen black and white footage of astronauts on the moon hot doggin’ it over craters and dunes in a trick electric buggy, but that was over thirty years ago.

Filed under: Transportation Audi confirmed its pure electric automobile plans earlier this month, and now the automaker’s back with yet another green vehicle based on its A1 hybrid concept. In hybrid mode the five door “sportback” (sporty!) will go from 0-62 MPH in 7.9 seconds, reach a top speed of 124 MPH and squeeze up to [...]

Filed under: Transportation While gear-head environmentalists prepare to forego the internally combusted symphonies that get their hearts pumping for the sake of a greener and quieter planet of electric cars, some folks at GM are thinking up some… interesting ways to bring new, “highly technical” sounds back into the picture.
