In Boston’s Seaport district, Lyft is now offering a “no driver” option, also known as the robot option. We suppose the technical term is “self-driving car,” and we should say up front that there WILL be a human being behind the wheel of all Lyft vehicles, with those captaining SD cars acting as a sort of “safety officer” (in case the car goes Terminator?).

While you may not be old enough to remember when Raul Julia uttered those words in The Gumball Rally, surely you’ve been around long enough to know the “first rule of Italian driving” is some pretty bad advice. Since people don’t have eyes in the backs of their heads...

The head football coach at my high school had a number of aphorisms for which he was famous. Among these was “There’s no rest for the wicked and the good don’t need no rest.” Public opinion is divided as to which of these two camps Elon Musk falls into, but one thing is clear...

Just as the road of life comes with its share of curves and ups and downs, so too does, well, the road. While I certainly don’t purport to have the answers as to how you might navigate the road of life with more confidence, automakers are inventing ways to help you feel more secure while driving in mountainous terrain.

20 years ago I was offered the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a business that had a new idea, selling people goods ordered from their computers. While I was certainly by no means a Luddite, I could not envision a day where people would just drive to the store to buy the things they needed.

(Another installment in our continuing series looking at how the cars of yesterday are being transformed into the driverless cars of tomorrow via the technology of today.)

Clearly, if you have this much stuff lit up on your dashboard, something is about to happen, and it’s probably not going to be good. Today’s post will focus on three technologies: forward collision warning, braking assist and automatic emergency braking. As with all the posts in this series, we will explore how these technologies will help you...

The day of the driverless car is fast approaching. Advances by companies like Uber, Tesla and Waymo have virtually every automaker scrambling to produce the first commercially viable fully autonomous vehicle. Local, state and federal lawmakers are working furiously to craft legislation that keeps pace with the rapid advance of driverless technology.

Today’s gadget has proven to be one of the toughest nuts to crack as engineers continue to work to keep us moving while moving us from behind the wheel. During a typical commute, there are any number of vehicles, objects and other things that a car is sharing space with. Autonomous cars are nearly 100% reliable in detecting other vehicles and...

Even though it’s probably one of the skills a driver will use the least, it has probably required more return trips to the DMV than any other. Even if you got through your driving test on the first try, this little maneuver probably gives you a moment’s pause anytime you face having to do it. That’s right, I’m talking about...
