Honda said a Takata air bag inflator ruptured in a Civic compact car on Sept. 30 and killed a driver in California, at least the 17th Takata-related fatality in the U.S., Malaysia and India.
Regulators have underestimated the cost and difficulty of achieving their vehicle fuel-economy and greenhouse-gas targets for 2025, an automaker group said.
Owners of 2014-2016 Lexus luxury vehicles in the U.S. need to go to dealerships for a fix to software that can disable navigation, audio and climate control systems.
Satellite communications to the navigation systems have been disrupted. Lexuss Customer Experience Center has received complaints from the Chicago area and from southern U.S. states.
The ports of Long Beach, Los Angeles and Oakland handle 40% of U.S. container traffic and converting them to all-electric equipment thats often self-driving will cost $35 billion in the next 30 years.
Google Inc. plans to make its self-driving cars unit, which will offer rides for hire, a stand-alone business under the Alphabet Inc. corporate umbrella next year.
