Ford plans to introduce a long-range electric vehicle to compete with battery-powered models coming from Tesla and General Motors that would go 200 miles or more on a charge.
Ford added more structural protection to the 2016 F-150 SuperCab to improve the pickups safety rating to good from marginal in the latest crash tests by the IIHS.
Despite fears to the contrary, the emergence of the sharing economy may not lead to the death of Detroit, after all, according to a new study from automotive researcher Kelley Blue Book.
Driverless cars are touted as leading to an accident-free future. But before we get to that utopia, there'll be plenty of collisions between robot cars and vehicles driven by humans.
Driverless vehicles are usually hit from behind in slow-speed crashes by inattentive humans unaccustomed to machine motorists that always follow the rules.
Americans will buy a record 5 million SUVs in 2015, fueled by low gasoline prices, cheap car loans and a desire for high riding big rigs that can haul plenty of people and possessions.
New auto safety technologies such as automatic braking and sensors that keep a car in its lane could prevent almost 10,000 U.S. road deaths a year and save $251 billion if they were more widely available.
Connected cars present a rich target, akin to retailers or banks, where hackers can troll for credit card numbers, home addresses, e-mail information and all the other personal details required for identity theft.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV is offering a software patch to close a loophole that let two hackers take control of a moving Jeep sport utility vehicle in an incident spotlighting the vulnerability of connected autos.
