Europe’s SARTRE (SAfe Road TRains for the Environment) project is well underway, having carried out its first successful demonstration of its self-driving technology at Volvo’s proving grounds near Gothenburg, Sweden. The SARTRE project is attempting to launch new technology for...

We've kept you on top of the latest happenings with the James Glickenhaus custom track-specific P4/5 Competizione, based on his one-off Ferrari P4/5. It's an orgy of carbon fiber and beautiful craftsmanship, and it's now a running race car, too. On video. These videos images are from its first...

It looks as if the 2011 Ford Explorer may have won its spot at the top of the 2011 North American Truck of the Year awards by maxing out the points in a category none of the other trucks were ready for: Snowsports Preparedness. How much more fun would this be (to watch, at least) if the Explorer...

There's nothing wrong with a little friendly ribbing, but Audi has been known to get right up in BMW's and Mercedes' faces with its ad campaigns. The latest, a 60-second spot for the Super Bowl, does it artfully, if less obviously. Based on the 1947 children's book Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise...

Audi has released a new commercial for the all-new 2011 Audi A8, taking on "old luxury and all of your wares" with a twist on the classic bedtime story, "Goodnight Moon." When it comes to German luxury sedans, Audi is widely regarded by reviewers as the smartest kid in the class. But despite its...

The U.S. set to fall in love with a whole new generation of minivans, ones that fit into a smaller segment than we’re used to, and ones with a little bit of European flair. Of course, we’re talking about the new 2012 Ford C-Max, which made its North American debut this week at the 2011...

We know you've seen the photos and read up on the details of Buick's new compact luxury sedan, but if you weren't in Detroit, you didn't get to see the unveiling as it happened. We've got you covered. The flash and bang is all done with pretty quickly, followed by a detailed description of the car...

BMW is well-known for its automotive mini-cinema, and Audi took a stab at it with Justin Timberlake and the A1. Now Aston Martin is getting in on the action with the first part of its "True Power" series. Staged, like so many car promos, around some mysterious cloak-and-dagger type operation, the...

There aren't any aliens at BMW's "Area 51" test site in Miramas, France, but you won't be disappointed with what is there, should you get the chance to go. Instead of UFOs and crates full of little grey men, the Miramas site holds the testing grounds for cars like the M3 GTS and M3 GT4. And once in...

Looking to see the 2012 Hyundai Veloster J-turning, sliding into parking spots sideways, smoking the front tires, and generally hooning about? This isn't the video for you. If you like synchronized driving on two-lane desert roads, though, you're in luck. Not a lot goes on in the video aside from...

You've seen the live shots, the preview, and now you get a video. Sadly, there are no hedgehogs in this one. Just the 2012 Chevy Sonic. When you're done here, be sure to check out our Detroit Auto Show page for more videos, photos, and info on the latest cars and concepts in the Motor City...

If you weren't up at 6:30 a.m. Eastern to catch the live unveiling of the Porsche 918 RSR, fret not: Porsche recorded the whole thing and is replaying it on their dedicated microsite. You can watch the multi-hybrid racer's debut for yourself, as if you were there. Except for the smells and sounds...

Hot hatches, how we love thee. Punchy, pint-sized, yet utilitarian and able to fly (just) under the radar, these do-it-all wonders never cease to please. The 2012 Ford Focus ST is no exception, and this video even treats us to a bit of turbo spool action. As B-roll footage, it's not particularly...

The unveiling of the Porsche 918 RSR hybrid/KERS racer took place just a few hours ago in Detroit, and now we have the official video of the unveiling. Framing the car in history as a spiritual descendant (though not a successor) of the fantastic, fearsome, and brutally fast 917, the video also...

Putting a new face (and a larger size) on the compact crossover/SUV market, the new Ford Vertrek Concept builds on the Escape and Euro-market Kuga to preview Ford's next-gen global offering. This video gives us a closer look, including shots of the infotainment system in operation. We'll have live...

The all-new but largely familiar 2011 Chrysler 300 just rolled across the stage at the Detroit Auto Show. As our crack team of photogs and editors gather the live shots, we've nabbed these official videos of the car for you, one of the unveiling and another with some B-roll footage. Packing more...

You're already expecting a racing coupe version of the wildly popular Porsche 918 Spyder, and this video teaser hints that you'll be getting it. As is typical with factory-approved teasers, we don't get a whole lot of info or visual contact with the concept, but with Bosch-branded livery on the...

It's been a busy week on the news feeds -- thanks in part to the many, many gizmos dropping trou at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. With gadgets of every shape and size making their world debuts, most celebrities (apart from Lady Gaga) have had a hard time fighting their way into the...

If you're into in-car infotainment systems (and you are) you've probably heard about Chrysler's Uconnect Touch system. Built in collaboration by Garmin and Chrysler, the system's launch vehicle was the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and it's available on a number of other 2011 Chrysler vehicles...

Alpha and beta testing might sound strange to a car guy, but it's common lingo in the computer and software industry to denote pre-production stages of progress. The alpha stage is the first rough draft of the final product, and that's what Tesla is previewing today through its vice president of...
