Motor Authority on the Cars Stealing the Show at CES
Joel Feder, interactive content manager for Motor Authority, discusses which automakers blew him away at CES this year. Driverless cars, electric vehicles, and new interfaces turned the expo into something of an auto show.
Feder says Byton, a new electric car company from former BMW and Mercedes Benz employees, was the talk of the event. Byton is looking to compete with Tesla eventually but is still a few years away.
Lyft unveiled its not-quite-driverless car. The vehicle will be automated but still have a wheel and gas and brake pedals in case a driver is needed.
British officials and space scientists said Tuesday they were disappointed but not deterred after the first attempt to launch satellites into orbit from the U.K. ended in failure.
German carmaker Volkswagen said it delivered 4.56 million vehicles in 2022. This is down 6.8% from the year before, as a "strained supply situation" led to a backlog of orders.
The NHTSA is investigating a Musk tweet indicating Tesla might allow some customers testing the "Full Self-Driving" system to disable an alert that tells them to keep their hands on the wheel.
