    Green vehicles in the mainstream<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    More and more automakers are set to launch electric models over the next few months. What\u2019s more, thanks to the Austrian startup Kreisel Electric, even the biggest gas guzzlers (looking at you, Hummer!) will soon be easily convertible to electric power. Incidentally, the company\u2019s ambassador is none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger. More information here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

      Can\u2019t find a car part? 3D printing to the rescue! <\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Replacement car parts can be hard to find, especially if they\u2019re highly specialized or have been discontinued. But thanks to high-precision 3D printers, Ford<\/a> is now able to produce made-to-measure carbon fibre auto parts quickly and at a low cost. Engineers are understandably excited about this technology\u2019s virtually limitless potential\u2014how about you?<\/p>\n

        Hands-free driving for a stress-free commute<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Fully autonomous self-driving cars are just around the corner. Until then, Cadillac\u2019s new Super Cruise<\/a> technology should tide you over. Models equipped with Super Cruise give drivers the option of handing over the wheel to a sophisticated network of sensors and cameras. The high-tech system, which can be activated on certain types of freeway, is able to steer the car, adjust its speed and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, allowing the driver to relax or enjoy some entertainment in the meantime. That\u2019s what we call a luxurious commute.<\/p>\n

          Magically effective windshield wipers from Mercedes-Benz<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Picture this: windshield wipers with tiny holes in them to directly dispense the washer fluid. That\u2019s what Mercedes-Benz is offering consumers with its innovative Magic Vision Control system<\/a>. For one, there\u2019s no more risk of splashing pedestrians and other cars every time you need some clarity. Secondly, you get to enjoy uninterrupted visibility. The kicker? These clever all-season accessories are equipped with heating elements, making iced-on wipers a thing of winters past.<\/p>\n
