And that’s what Finn ended up doing. He filed an insurance claim through Geico, which ended up covering roughly $4,000 of the over $5,000 repair. (This total repair cost was markedly lower than Geico’s $6,512.74 estimate, Finn told me, because he reused the old headliner and airbag module since they seemed in good shape. This resulted in Finn paying a total of about $1,000 out of pocket when all was said and done).

A: We can’t argue with you. Paddle shifters have been around for a long time (early 1990s) and Formula One cars prove it. Still, there are those of us who enjoy driving cars the old-fashioned way. But here is a little secret: I use the paddles all the time, especially on the twisties through the mountains of Virginia where we live. Here is another little secret: We will never own a motorcycle with an automatic transmission, for the same aesthetic.

While price – purchase and replacement in the event of an accident – may be legitimate reasons to hate driver assistance technology, most who dislike it find it intrusive, distracting and representative of the nanny state.

In terms of lane departure, that is a feature for drivers who are low on the spectrum of driving ability and attention. People who are watching their phones more than the road.

As I walked to my tool box to grab a 15-mm wrench, I visualized myself performing the adjustment. I opened the driver door and placed my body on the floor of the car, close to the foot pedals. I found the clutch master cylinder adjustment rod and loosened the lock nut. I adjusted the rod until it was just touching the pedal and the end of the clutch master cylinder piston.

Whereas regulating headlights or bumper height or hood ornaments has a large component of protecting others.

Though rear park assist isn’t the most glamorous of wanted options (such as a sunroof or push-button start), adding features from the ever-expanding GM active safety technology suite is welcome, even more so with the impending launch of the 2019 Ford Ranger and upcoming Jeep Scrambler.

The Deep Blue Hybrid system offers largely emission-free sailing, with the BMW-I lithium batteries able to be charged via renewable energy sources, such as solar panels and hydro generators. For longer trips, or if the hotel load requires more power than can be supplied by the batteries, the Advanced Hybrid Control System automatically manages and starts up the DC generator.

here is my offer: if car collides and system is on – automaker pays repairs. If system is off – the driver

Cummins said it is offering a pre-certified system — what is commonly referred to as Scheme A approach — to remove additional certification complexity from the equation for the shipyard. The Scheme A approach means Cummins has worked directly with an IMO-recognized agency to perform witness and emissions tests before the system arrives at the shipyard. The design is proven in the test cell to meet the emissions requirements and the various design configurations are all pre-approved.

While the machine’s we saw were still in the prototype phase, Deutz plans to start manufacturing modular hybrid drives in 2019 and selling hybrids and all-electric products by 2020, says Dr. Frank Hiller, Deutz’s CEO. By 2022-2023 Hiller says the company anticipates hybrids and electric drive units will account for 5-to 10-percent of the company’s revenue. Since the company projects sales above 200,000 engines by 2022, that could mean anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000 electrified machines in the market running on E-Deutz systems in the next few years.
