Driver-Free (aka Self-driving) cars are a subject of much debate. The idea is intriguing: a computer-operated vehicle that uses satellite maps, camera and sensor suites, and predictive analysis to shuttle its passengers without a human driver guiding it. Some pessimists see these cars as dangerous, but practical people are reassured by the solid safety record of self-driven cars. Google’s...

Automotive technology is moving forward in high tech leaps and bounds. In the 70s anti-lock braking systems were just making an appearance, and now cars have voice controlled communications. Widely regarded as the birthplace of the American automobile industry, Michigan is on the forefront of this exciting wave of progress. That’s great news if you’re a techie. Here’s our breakdown of the...

It isn’t pleasant to think about, but auto accidents are a fact of life. Forbes Magazine reports that the average American will file a claim for a collision about once every eighteen years after getting their driver’s license. That means that if you got your license at 17, odds are good that you’ll be in one accident by the time you’re 35 and another by 48. Driving a Chevy with our suite...

Your car isn’t just a toy or a way to and from work. Chevy vehicles are built to last, and they are a solid investment. Maybe you’ll drive the same car your entire life (which is possible with our Chevy Tough models), but chances are your living situation will change at some point. Maybe you’ll need the extra passenger space of an Equinox or the towing capabilities of a Colorado. Whatever...

The Detroit Auto Show is a premier event on the American automotive scene. Everyone from giant car companies to independent components engineers gather to display their latest achievements. This year, Chevy paid respect to Detroit Pride with an exciting catalogue of new models and updated technology. One of the biggest announcements was the Fall release of the 2017 Cruze Hatch, the first compact...

With eco-friendly new cars gaining popularity, Chevy is determined to meet the demand with a range of green vehicles. They aren’t satisfied with designing a good hybrid or a clean diesel engine and calling it a day (though they’ve done both with incredible success). Chevy made this clear at the Detroit Auto Show with the announcement of the Chevy Bolt EV, due to be released early next year....

Of all the new cars designed for the eco-conscious customer, the Volt stands head and shoulders above the crowd. You don’t have to take our word for it, though. The editors and staff at AutoWeek got their hands on a 2016 Chevy Volt for a full road test and review last month, and they’re still talking about it. Most of the attention is on the Volt’s powertrain, newly redesigned by GM...
