This 2002 Chevy Silverado was Built for Speed on the Street and Track | Generator Diesel Consumption With Deutz Engine

Since William Durant founded General Motors in 1908, the local market knew something was going on in the early going and it was going to be good. His talent and innovative spirit guided the automaker to switch from simply making horse-drawn carriages, to designing and building automobiles that pushed the envelope. In a few years, GM acquired more than twenty companies that delivered household vehicle names including Pontiac, Oldsmobile and the Cadillac. Soon enough, public demand grew, energized by the cars manufactured by GM, and thus its mission statement "A Car for Every Purse and Purpose" was coined.

The global automotive adaptive cruise control system is categorized based on sensor type: infrared, laser or LIDAR, radar, ultrasonic and image sensors. LIDAR sensors based adaptive cruise control system is expected to remain the most dominant technology type in the global automotive industry over the next five years.

Volvo Construction Equipment has unveiled its new range of Volvo-branded rigid haulers to customers and dealers 

17. A new, easy to read, modernized dash adorns the 2019 Triumph Scrambler XE. The second-generation TFT display is easy to read and navigate, thanks to the joystick controls on the left. A little bit of poking around will get you going in the right direction. There are three layouts for the dash with various quantities of information displayed. They can be viewed in low- or high-contrast mode. With an accessory Bluetooth module, riders will be able to control their GoPro cameras or pair their phone to the dash and use Google Maps for turn-by-turn directions.

(4/tie) Yamaha YZ450F, Kawasaki KX450 and Suzuki RM-Z450. The Big Four sat on their hands as KTM and Husky pulled away in the brake race. They just kept selling the same-old, same-old for a decade. Finally, rather than start from scratch, they dropped their 250mm rotors for bigger 270mm front rotors. The 270mm rotors did increase braking power; but, without redesigned calipers, the newfound power didn’t come with much control. 

He feels that the off-road mode should increase the threshold for airbag deployment, or that GM should employ a setup similar to Toyota’s RSCA switch, which allows for the disabling the side airbag’s roll sensing function during off-road driving:

I for sure know that I’m not the best driver. Maybe you are. Maybe you’re God’s gift to the driving community, an unholy creation resulting from a one night stand of gene splicing from Mario Andretti, Dale Earnhardt, and Jack Baruth. But I don’t know your driving skills from Adam. And what about that jerk tailgating you 2 feet off your bumper?

8. If the message wasn’t clear, perhaps the fully adjustable long-travel suspension—nearly 10 inches at each end—will drive the point home. Up front, 47mm Showa cartridge fork soaks up the hits, while twin Öhlins piggyback-reservoir shocks handle the duties out back. The suspension feel leans towards the stiffer side initially. It is more or less on par with ADV options on the market, avoiding the seesawing that leggy off-road machines can sometimes do. Once you’ve taken to the trail and set to work, the suspension moves through the travel in a plush and controlled manner, keeping the chassis in line or helping it settle up quickly over rough spots.

About Diesel Engines for Non-Automotive Applications : Diesel engines offer better operational performance, which makes them a preferred choice over petrol engines.

Part of the problem is poorly-calibrated systems. My Honda applies the brakes when I charge those tight, perfectly-banked right-handers, and cuts power if I get wheelspin trying to get into a gap in traffic. My old WRX would release the brakes any time I went over a bump (washboard at the end of off-ramps was extremely problematic). On occasion, these systems can make us less safe.

I thought reverse cameras became mandatory this year? Sort of making annoying sensors unnecessary.. or maybe they are just mandatory in Canada?
