If there’s one category in vehicle tech that’s continually evolving, it’s that of the wireless backup camera system–as it should be!
After all, commercial fleets would directly benefit from these features that are unique to wire-free tech:
- Preserved Vehicle Surfaces
Running wires means potentially risking exposure or damage to sensitive internal systems, like those in refrigerated trucks. Using wireless technology minimizes this risk.
- Easier Scaling Up
The main feature (being wire-free) means you can add and remove cameras quickly without installing and running wires. When upgrading...

The Dangers of Fog
You can’t drive around it, you can barely drive through it, and you’d better take it slow when you’re in it.
It’s one of the most formidable obstacles to drivers’ visibility: fog.
While it affects most of us occasionally and in short spurts, some places in North America experience it as regularly occurring weather.
These are the 5 places in North America where the fog is dense and regularly occurring, according to Farmer’s Almanac:
1) Grand Banks, Newfoundland
It’s where a cold current from the north (The Labrador) meets with the warmer Gulf Stream from the south and produces...

They'll take your breath away–figuratively and otherwise.
The U.S. has some of the most beautifully scenic drives in the world, and that’s a fact. A long drive through certain regions of the U.S. can transport you to land's most untamable terrains.
Dangerous (or alluring, depending on who you ask) roads are everywhere from the slopes of the highest peaks to the frozen tundra.
Here are three of the most dangerous:
Tail of the Dragon
Near the borders of Tennessee and North Carolina, on the edge of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, runs this infamous stretch of U.S. Route 129. With a...

In 2014, a group of 2,705 American drivers aged 16 and up were surveyed by AAA.
These drivers had driven at least once in the 30 days before the survey and the group was weighted so as to reflect the overall American population.
The questions in this survey focused specifically on their reactions when feelings of anger were triggered, and the answers revealing the uglier side of driving: road rage.
The resulting statistics in lighter cases were as follows:
- 1/3rd of drivers admitted to have made an angry gesture at another driver
- 50% admitted to tailgating on purpose
- 46%...

In keeping with our (recently established) tradition, we’d like to start the new year by highlighting upcoming auto-related technologies--especially the novel types that save lives.
Though we tend to be more safety-focused, we appreciate the bells and whistles of flashy new trends that seem straight out a sci-fi movie scene; some of which definitely made our list:
Adaptive Headlights
Adaptive, or matrix headlights, automatically adjust high beams in the face of oncoming cars while keeping the rest of the road illuminated and are able to be aimed more precisely than regular headlights. The headlights...

Both large-commercial and consumer-facing vehicles regularly take on a shared enemy: the blind spot.
Whether caused by extra thick pillars, small windows, bad sightlines, or high dashboards, a lack of visibility is responsible for its share of accidents.
It also plays a huge role in the failure of maneuvers like backing up, parallel parking, and lane switching, which many drivers are apprehensive towards.
Luckily the aftermarket for blind-spot-elimination offers many options, and of course, we’ve got the most powerful of the bunch:

It’s back-to-school season again, and that means that high school and college-aged drivers will be taking to the road in droves.
The fact is, teens aged 16-19 are at higher risk for motor vehicle crashes than any other age group, and are nearly 3 times as likely to be in a fatal crash than those aged 20 or older. Between inexperience, lower rates of seat belt usage, phone distractions, speeding, and alcohol/drug usage, parents need all the help they can get when trying to keep them out of harm’s way.
While you can’t be with them in the passenger’s seat all the time, you can get them the best...
