Cars that drive themselves: family trips will never be the same

by Kristin Darguzas, Posted Jan 7th 2008 1:01PM

I've never been a fabulous driver. Although I've only ever totaled one car (when I was 18 and scatterbrained and oh, man, I hope my Dad doesn't still remember that), I've almost had several accidents, largely in the last two years. I blame this ...

On the last day of November, which happened to be my birthday, I picked Jared up early from school (his class had been on a field trip all day and I didn't think they get much learning done in that last hour) and we hopped on the streetcar to go ...

The other day, I came across a video for the Vandenbrink Carver (now called the VentureOne) which looked absolutely awesome -- and would make a great commuter car. This weekend, I was at the Vintage Computer Festival, held at the Computer History ...

Missing Sweet Pea

by Roger Sinasohn, Posted Aug 31st 2007 6:04PM

Growing up, my family had a full-size van, a green 1974 Chevy SportVan 20, if I remember correctly. When I got my license, I pretty much did all the driving, so the van, named Sweet Pea, kinda became my vehicle. At some point, my folks gave her to me ...
