The Roads Aren’t Always Perfect
When you head out on the roads and enjoy the drive you’re looking for it makes sense to know that the car you’re driving can handle the weather and the obstacles you’re going to find on the road. As much as we would all love to have perfect driving conditions to enjoy the road all the time, that’s never the case. Thankfully, most automakers have thought of that and spend some time testing their vehicles in less than perfect conditions to make sure you can have the drive you need when you head out on the road, regardless of the conditions you’ll find.
Death in a Tesla Causes Concern
The first American death in a Tesla Model S while using the Autopilot system occurred recently and has many wondering if the system or the driver were at fault. The victim in the crash was Joshua D. Brown, a forty year old technology company owner from Canton, Ohio who loved his Model S enough to post videos of himself behind the wheel of the car with the car in Autopilot mode. His death occurred on May 7th in Willison, Florida when the camera system was unable to distinguish the white side of a turning tractor-trailer with the bright sky, failing to engage the brakes, causing Brown to collide with the trailer and become the first fatal victim of this system.
The Race for Greatness
What is greatness? It seems we keep finding new ways to define what really is great and with the widespread reach of social media many terms are used to define what a finite number of people feel is great. Greatness on a grand scale is not limited to the positive either; when was the last time you heard the term “epic fail”? Most likely it showed up somewhere in your social media feeds just yesterday. As we try to define greatness on a variety of different scales from the good to the bad, something that truly can be considered great may be an item we discuss on a regular basis.
A New Mercedes-Benz at Frankfurt
The Frankfurt Motor Show is better known as the IAA which is the Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (obviously not an American English spelling at all). This might make you think the new Mercedes-Benz concept car was named after the show, but it wasn’t. The confusion is the fact that this new car is called the Concept IAA which actually stands for Intelligent Aerodynamic Automobile, which might be a boring name, but it’s certainly not a boring car at all.
