New Ford Fiesta is equipped with Active City Stop

Active City Stop Fiesta function when running at low speeds. ACS uses light detection and proximity sensor for observing the road ahead 50 times every second.

"In the big cities the car is running low speed and many drivers fail to brake so it hit the vehicle in front of him," said Florian Schweter, Active City Stop new Fiesta development engineer, Ford of Europe.

Squeezing into a tight spot

Paul Leroux

No doubt about it, autonomous and semi-autonomous cars will present a variety of legal and ethical challenges. But theyll also offer many benefits — some of which will be pleasantly surprising.

Take parking, for example. Cars are getting wider, but parking spaces generally arent. So how do you squeeze into a tight spot and then step out of your car without slamming your door into the car next to you? Well, what if you didnt have to be in the car? This new video from Ford tells all...



This technology is cool, especially for aging drivers who cant crane their necks as well as they used to. Still, some gotchas come to mind. For instance, other drivers might get peeved if you momentarily leave your car on the road so you can park it remotely. Also, what if you squeeze your car into a tight parking spot just inches away from drivers door of the adjacent car — but that car doesnt support remote-controlled parking? How will the driver get back into his or her vehicle?

That said, these problems can be avoided with a little common sense on the part of the user. And Ill bet you dimes to donuts that this new technology from Ford can negotiate parking spaces more adroitly than most motorists. Which means that, eventually, well all have vehicles with fewer bumps, scuffs, and scratches. I could live with that.

Fourth generation 2012 Honda CR V

This is the 2012 Honda CR-V Concept that made its public debut at the Orange County International Auto Show in Anaheim, California. It officially shows us the styling direction for the all-new, fourth-generation CR-V, which has been spied testing before. It’s set to go on sale in the US by the end of the year and the production car will debut at the LA Auto Show in November.

Compared to the current CR-V, the concept takes on a bolder look with deeper sculpting of the body lines and a stronger front fascia, which ditches the “double grille” look. The front bumper’s smooth-flowing lines are highlighted by a horizontal three-bar grille that encroaches into the multi-reflector headlight cluster. The lower bumper wraps upward to convey SUV capability with a generous approach angle; the design also improves aerodynamics.

The CR-V’s signature vertical rear taillights remain, but it’s now wrapped into the body, and the result hints at the Volvo XC60. The side glass area also sees a change in shape – the upper line falls all the way down in the current car, but both meet in the middle on the concept. The section aft of the rear doors appear bigger here, too.

We don’t expect the production model to look significantly different from this, perhaps with less showy wheels and a more subtle sump guard. Do you like where Honda is heading with the CR-V?
