Ice is a constant companion of winter, which can be very dangerous, especially if we drive at an inappropriate speed. If you find yourself in a situation - God forbid! - that you start to lean due to snow or icy patches on the road, it is good to know how to react correctly in order to correct the direction of the vehicle and it does not slide uncontrollably. See below for what to do if you start to lean on an icy road.
Although opinions are still divided about the effectiveness or, better, the reliability of Tesla's Autopilot, here is new proof of how advanced technology can increase road safety. Hans Noordsij, the owner of the Tesla Model X, has it to thank for the fact that it is still in one piece today. When he was driving on the highway, Tesla's sensors - Tesla's autopilot has the ability to automatically detect danger - predicted a traffic accident in front of him and consequently slowed down the vehicle before it actually happened.
When you visit Austria next year, you will no longer need to stick a vignette on the windshield, as our northern neighbors will also introduce digital vignettes, which are already used in Hungary, in November 2017. Under the new system, the vignette will be linked to the vehicle's registration number and not to the windshield.
The new Top Gear is returning to the small screen after the postpartum cramps and the BBC has already released the first trailer for Season 2. In this one, we will no longer follow the host Chris Evans, who said goodbye as the host of the popular motoring show after the end of the 1st season. Co-host Matt LeBlanc, who became the first "steering wheel" of the show, will try to return it to its former glory.
The Morgan EV3, the adorable electric tricycle, is now also available as a toy, not a toy! Admittedly, it is a slightly smaller, but still large replica of the tricycle, but it does not have as powerful an engine as its bigger brother. But it is also made by hand and covered in carbon fiber, leather and wood. For children with parents with big wallets.
Currently, the third season of the Formula E championship is underway, in which ten teams with two drivers each compete with Spark Racing Technology (SRT) cars, which are powered by electricity instead of gasoline vapors. The title is defended by the Renault e.dams team, which also became champions in the christening season 2014/2015. In the fifth season (2018/19), the attractive championship is getting a new car (which will also be manufactured by SRT in the future), which will be even more aerodynamic, even lighter and even more efficient. Meet the daring Spark SRT05E racer.
Pagani will bring a roofless version of the Pagani Huayra to the Geneva Motor Show. Its price testifies to what a prestigious vehicle it is. The Pagani Huayra Roadster costs as much as 2.3 million euros! Despite this, the 100 series of vehicles went like hot cakes.
Aston Martin has introduced special editions of the V8 and V12 models, the Aston Martin Vantage Red Bull Racing Edition. Both will be available in the second half of 2017.

Who does not know the legendary model Yugo (initially Jugo), which was produced for almost four decades at the Crvena Zastava factory in Kragujevac? Once the pride of the Yugoslav automotive industry, today the vehicle designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro is a target of ridicule. American journalist Doug DeMuro recently indulged in it. Do you agree with him?
