The 2019 Audi RS5 Sportback: Classy and Stylish
The 2019 Audi RS5 Sportback: Classy and Stylish: Audi RS models are not the fastest in their segments, but they still are the classiest. The new 2019 Audi RS5 Sportback has just been revealed and it follows the classy style of its previously built sisters and brothers.
The new model is powered by a heavily turbocharged 2.9 liter V6 engine which develops 444 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque. It’s a dense package, but still capable of taking the car from 0 to 60 mph in under four seconds. Top speed is, as usual, limited to 155 mph. But you can have it upped to 174 mph is you pay extra for the optional Dynamic plus package.

Uber reaches settlement with Herzberg family!:
The potential legal battle between the family of the woman killed by Uber’ self-driving vehicle ends. Cristina Perez Hesano, an attorney with the firm of Bellah Perez in Glendale, Arizona, said "the matter has been resolved" between Uber and daughter and husband of Elaine Herzberg, 49, who died after being hit by an Uber self-driving SUV in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe earlier this month.

Uber blocked in Arizona after the last week's fatal crash
Uber blocked in Arizona after the last week's fatal crash: Uber can not test self-driving cars on Arizona’s public roads anymore. The governor of the state has announced this decision after the fatal crash that killed a 49-year-old pedestrian.
The decision to block Uber Technologies Inc.’s is a blow to the ride-hailing company, which sees its future success reliant on driverless vehicles, and trails competitors such as Alphabet Inc.’s Waymo in developing the technology. Arizona had been a key hub for Uber, with about half of the company’s 200 self-driving vehicles and a staff of hundreds.

Goodyear's Oxygene tire releases oxygen and absorbs carbon
While several companies are still talking about creating “green” products, Goodyear introduces the concept version of a tire, called Oxygene. The concept tire debuted at the 2018 Geneva International Motor Show. It features a unique open structure in which a heat-resistant moss is encouraged to grow inside the sidewall thanks to the smart tread design, which absorbs and circulates moisture it picks up from the road, all managed by an AI system. It also inhales carbon dioxide from the air to feed the moss.
The Oxygene concept features a lightweight, non-pneumatic construction using 3D-printed rubber powder sourced from recycled tires. Michelin has similarly 3D-printed tire concepts. Last year the company unveiled its airless Vision concept tire that recharges its treads via 3D printing technology to adjust to seasonal road conditions, and features a tread inspired by nature that is similarly made from sustainable materials. Like that one, the Oxygene is airless and puncture-free, with a shock-absorbing open tread structure that improves grip in wet conditions. Read more

Trump's steel and aluminum tariffs will boost vehicle prices
The auto industry is warning that US sales declines, which have been consistent over the past year, may continue thanks to tariffs US President Donald Trump plans to slap on steel and aluminum imports.
Toyota Motor, which plans to build a new $1.6 billion factory in Alabama with Mazda Motor, said the administration’s decision will “adversely impact” car companies by raising costs and prices of cars and trucks sold in the US. That’s even as more than 90 percent of the steel that Asia’s biggest carmaker uses in the US is from that country. Trade groups representing automakers including General Motors Co and Toyota, plus parts suppliers like Robert Bosch GmbH, tried to warn the Trump administration of unintended consequences. That’s before the president said Thursday he plans to order tariffs of 25 percent on imported steel and 10 percent on aluminum. Read more
