A worldwide revolution is happening, and it’s impossible to ignore: The automotive industry’s massive shift toward green, alt-fuel vehicles that run either partially or completely on electric power.

Before you dive headfirst into EV-land, let’s look at the differences between electric vehicles and common eco-friendly cars like hybrids and plug-in hybrids.

Finding a trustworthy mechanic near you can be a hassle, especially if you’re new to the area. That’s because good mechanics don’t just grow on trees; it takes years of training, tons of certifications, and thousands of hours of hands-on experience to develop an auto service technician’s eye. Some people just aren’t cut out for all that extra work.

As they say in Hollywood: “That’s a wrap, folks!”

This past weekend, after nine straight days of playing host, the Miami Beach Convention Center bid adieu to the 2021 Miami International Auto Show (MIAS) and all the gorgeous vehicles that came along for the ride. In all, dozens of new cars, trucks and SUVs graced the MIAS stage, with automakers aiming to entertain, excite and entice the crowd by introducing their newest gizmos, gadgets and thingamabobs. Let’s take a look at some of our favorite unveilings, events and showings.

In 2019, the automotive research website iSeeCars.com conducted an eye-opening study on the most dangerous cars in the U.S. They analyzed data from the U.S. Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) on more than 25 million vehicles involved in fatal accidents from the years 2013 to 2017.

Bet you didn’t know that Ferdinand Verbiest created a steam-powered automotive novelty for a Chinese emperor way back in 1672. Or that in 1769, Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot developed a steam-powered “Fardier a vapeur” (steam dray) military transport. (It’s arguably the first successful self-propelled automotive vehicle that was, ironically, involved in the first known automobile accident when it knocked down a brick wall in 1771.) Or that Carl Benz’s breakthrough gasoline internal combustion engine was created in 1887.

Today, we take automotive technology for granted. With each passing year, automakers are engineering vehicles with a mind-boggling assortment of high-tech wizardry worthy of a futuristic starship. As automotive technology continues to evolve, we thought we’d take a look at some of the coolest car tech trends for 2021 and beyond.

So, fasten your seatbelts, get a firm grip on the steering wheel, engage the flux capacitor, and prepare to blast off to the outer limits of new car technology.

If you’re looking to buy new luxury car tires in Miami, you may be faced with a dizzying array of choices.

Each year, nearly 1,000 cyclists and approximately 5,000 motorcyclists die in road accidents. More and more cyclists join the pedaling club every year, too, which means that bike-car collisions are likely to continue increasing. But they don’t have to!

By adjusting how you drive — and by putting down that dang phone! — you can be part of the solution, not the problem. Here’s how you can start coexisting with motorcycle and bike riders on the road.
