| 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...

| Five Luxury Vehicles With Plummeting Prices Posted: 15 Oct 2010 10:28 AM PDT  The recession is over, they tell us. It's time to start spending again. Yet somehow, we aren't.

| 2011 Chevrolet Volt Production Number To Rise Slightly, Again Posted: 15 Oct 2010 07:26 AM PDT  Once again, Chevrolet has upped planned production volumes of its 2011 Volt electric car in the face of strong demand and the likelihood that many dealers have more buyers than cars to sell them.

| Posted: 15 Oct 2010 07:19 AM PDT  Teenagers text more than any other social group. So what happens when they take to the road en masse? Brace yourselves. [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?
