Nothing like this has happened before. Right now, there are thousands of partially built Ford F-150s sitting in massive parking lots around Detroit. Final assembly cannot be completed until one final component is installed, semiconductor chips. Without them, new cars and trucks cannot function properly as crucial systems like navigation and Bluetooth depend on them. Ford has been forced to idle several production plants, including the Mustang assembly line in Flat Rock, Michigan, for various periods of time to help balance out what chip supplies it has left. With no solution to the crisis on ...

Rockstar's latest job opening gives us a glimmer of hope. The gaming industry is huge and car-themed video games are up there with some of the best titles in the business. Such is the influence of the genre that Gran Turismo was recently named as an official Olympic sport. Keen gamers have been waiting in anticipation for new titles like Gran Turismo 7 (unfortunately delayed until 2022 due to production issues stemming from the pandemic), as well as Grand Theft Auto (GTA) 6. With GTA 5 having been around since 2013, GTA 6 is overdue. However, it seems that we may not have to wait too much lon...

A fancier version of the sedan is now available. Things haven't been going all that well for Infiniti. Along with being comprehensively outshined by the likes of Genesis, there hasn't been much in the way of good news. The brand's Formula One-inspired sports car will not make production, and our review of the Q50 hasn't convinced us that it's good enough for the company it aims to keep. Still, at least we are promised a good showing from the QX60, and it seems that Infiniti may be aware of the shortcomings of the Q50. The Japanese automaker has just revealed a new Signature Edition, and altho...

2014-2018 Audi SQ5 Audi first brought its sporty SQ5 crossover to the American market in 2014, using the same 3.0-liter supercharged V6 found in the S4 sedan and S5 coupe. It produced 354 hp and 347 lb-ft of torque, going out to Audi's all-wheel-drive system through an eight-speed automatic. Zero-to-sixty mph took just 5.1 seconds, making the SQ5 quicker than the Kona N. For the 2018 model year, Audi replaced the supercharged V6 with a turbocharged motor producing the same power but a bit more torque (369 lb-ft). Used SQ5 examples are readily available for less than $30,000, with varying mile...

But we wouldn't recommend it. The furor surrounding Tesla's semi-autonomous Autopilot system seems to show no sign of subsiding. Consumer Reports (CR) elicited fiery responses from Tesla fans recently when it proved that a Tesla Model Y could be driven without a driverbehind the wheel. In that experiment, CR placed a weighted chain on the steering wheel to trick the system into thinking a driver had their hands on the wheel. In a disturbing turn of events, a third-party provider of Tesla accessories is now selling a cheat device that does the same thing, essentially fooling Autopilot into thi...
