| Cars And Smartphones: The Future Is Now Posted: 15 Oct 2010 10:40 AM PDT  In the 2004 Will Smith movie, I, Robot, the future is filled with cars that drive themselves, and petroleum's verboten because it's volatile and unsafe. Yes, this future also has evil robots that try to take over the world, but focus on the first part--cars that drive themselves--because that future is now, thanks to Google. Google's driverless...

[TheCarConnection] As much as we hate to admit it, winter is coming. You need to remember these five things before you head into it--oh, and your keys. Keys will help.

| As Text-Addicted Teens Take To The Roads, Is More Trouble Ahead? Posted: 15 Oct 2010 06:48 AM PDT  Unless we make some big changes in attitudes regarding cellphone use, there's trouble ahead. Why?
