| Future Tech: OLED Breakthrough Could Provide Cheap Night Vision For Cars Posted: 28 Apr 2010 09:00 AM PDT  Night vision systems are already available in the higher-end luxury sedans from companies like Toyota, Volvo, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, but it's expensive technology that few drivers can afford.

| Ford Hybrids: Tough Enough To Be Police Cars in New York City Posted: 28 Apr 2010 08:34 AM PDT  As New York City works aggressively to reduce its carbon footprint and cut exhaust emissions, it has encouraged large fleets to switch to hybrids. From utility ConEd to the fleets of yellow cabs, more and more hybrids are showing up on city streets.
