The oddly personal truth about ADAS: self-driving cars are like running shoes

Honda Sensing ADAS in JDM Honda Legend

There you are, motoring along in your Volvo XC90 PHEV with the Pilot Assist engaged alongside a big 18-wheeler at a comfortable 70 mph cruise when the interstate starts to slowly sweep left. From the drivers’ seat, that semi on your right looks awfully close. As the steering wheel turns itself in your hand, you start to wonder if that truck’s a bit too close. The car isn’t doing anything wrong, but it’s too close for your comfort and you give the wheel a little nudge to hug the inside of the lane just a bit more.

Honda now has an electric Ruckus. Will they bring it to the US?

The Honda Ruckus has earned cult status thanks to its minimalist styling, exposed frame, and seemingly endless customizability.

A few years ago, Honda finally answered the call for an updated version by announcing and producing the “Zoomer e:”, which was an electric version of the Honda Ruckus. So where is it?

Honda just unveiled an EV for the bike lane and it’s not what you think

The world has been waiting for Honda to seriously get behind electric bikes, motorcycles, and other lightweight personal electric vehicles. And now they just have, in a big way. But I no matter what you’re expecting when you hear “Honda just launched a bike lane vehicle”, I can pretty much guarantee that it isn’t this. Say hello to the Fastport eQuad, a new four-wheeled delivery vehicle from Honda.
