Before we get into things in more detail, let’s be sure we all understand the parameters here. Here’s how the Society of Automotive Engineers describes Level 3 automation: The SAE calls L3 “conditional driving automation,” and describes it as The chart then adds this qualifier block of text for L3: As I mentioned in my other article, the parameters about when a driver must take over and any details about how that transition should take place or how long the transition should last are still completely unclear....

Considering how empty the 2022 North American International Auto Show was, some of you may be wondering why I’m even bothering to leave Illinois to walk around a state fairground in Florida. With how much information you can get online, it seems that there really isn’t a need to see vehicles in person anymore. At least in my eyes, RVs are different. There are things that you cannot get a firm grasp on without actually being there in person....

Jim Talyor, who seems to have made his money from the recently sold Taylor Made marine product company, has a fairly well known collection in upstate New York. His bent seems to be towards unique and sporty European cars, but there’s a fair share of everything from a 2020 Ford GT ’69 Heritage Edition to a 1978 Cadillac Seville. The auction is October 14th-15th in Gloversville, New York and is being operated by Broad Arrow Auctions with most of the vehicles being offered without reserve....

I’ve Owned Every Generation Of Corvette Since The First One You know the archetype — the retired guy in the jorts and dad-cap pulling up to cars and coffee in his low-mileage Corvette. He’s the type of person who’s had Corvettes forever, only taken them out on dry and sunny days, and uses his pride and joy primarily for parking lot shows and date nights. Corvette coddler is a fan of having all the bells and whistles, so let’s kick things off with the $122,245 3LZ Convertible....

[Editor’s Note: This picture confused the hell out of me for way longer than I’m willing to admit. – JT] Let’s start at the top of the Last Call special edition food chain, where Dodge wants $100,910 including a $1,595 freight charge for the Challenger Black Ghost. While the natty roof graphics and smattering of chrome certainly look sweet, that’s a lot of money for a Challenger. Then again, with 807 horsepower on tap, it’s the most powerful factory-produced Challenger this side of a Demon, so that has to count for something....

First, let’s use Aronoff’s paper to help us define how car names usually work, semantically: So, we all instinctively know this: It would sound weird if I told you that I still had the Beetle 1973 Volkswagen I’ve had since I was 18, for example, even though all of those words are the ones you expect. The order is important, as are the essential categories, and these are never deviated from....

When I went to the RV Open House, I found a common theme among the manufacturers at the event. Just about every company wants to sell you a travel trailer with a lift kit and all-terrain tires. These trailers are marketed towards people who want to go camping where there are no RV hookups and where your pool is the river that you park next to. Some of these trailers appeared to be better than others....

Today, though, I’m showing a turbocharged 125cc dirt bike owned by a young man/teeenager who attended a little car show at a pub near Dubbo, where I’m staying. Much respect to this young man for spending time wrenching on a machine when the internet temps with Tiktok videos; this is the back-country janks that I love to see. The Garret turbo, which looks like one I snagged off an old Saab, has been bolted to a bit of hollow square tubing, which is welded to round tubing, which is welded to the bike’s exhaust pipe feeding out the front of the single-cylinder engine....

As you watch this, there’s a lot worth noting here: First, I appreciate the minimal presentation and the clever, almost rhythmic editing. Second, this transmission is built accurately, but laying on its side compared to how most automotive transmissions are. c But, really, that barely matters, because this provides such a fantastic visualization of what exactly is going on inside a manual transmission. Also, the person in this video builds a whole dyno setup!...

For starters, Canadians tend to buy smaller cars than Americans. Swap Accords for Civics and Camrys for Corollas to essentially get our best-selling car charts. Secondly, base models are far and few between up here. Sure, every Canadian knows someone who only pops for the base model (hi Dad), but it’s often genuinely surprising whenever a manufacturer forecasts a higher Canadian product mix for base models than for loaded-up trims....

Sharing the same “STLA Large” platform as the Recon, the Wagoneer S will be built on a unibody platform with a big battery pack under the belly, a frunk up front, and a motor driving each axle — a fairly standard setup to find in a modern EV. Jeep says it’s aiming for a range of 400 miles and an output of 600 horsepower, which should get the machine to 60 mph in 3....
