New technology makes life easier, but can sometimes become an annoyance too. Take Apple’s Airpods and a wireless mouse for example. You now have to charge your earphones and mouse just to get them to work. Sometimes new technology can be a fad like the Segway, and worse, it can even be fraudulent like Theranos’s one-drop blood test. In 2018, we heard the news of the Audi E-TRON and the Lexus ES replacing the standard side view mirrors with side-view cameras instead. Also making a debut in 2018 w

We’ve talked about blind spots, now let’s talk about how to eliminate the blind spots without the need of expensive monitors. Adjusting our side mirrors is one of the first lessons we learn in driving school. We were told to sit back and adjust our mirrors so we can see just a little bit of our car in the mirror. But a paper published by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) in 1995 states that is not the most optimised positiong and you can get more out of the side mirror adjustments. Accor

As part of the motoring media, we are required to jump into many cars and drive around to test out the real world practicality of cars available on the market.
