Ford 'video snack' makes technology more appetizing

Whether you opt for it or not, many cars sold today come loaded with technology. Some drivers are savvy and learn how to navigate many of the features right away; others drive for months or even years before they crack the code of their vehicle's capabilities. Ford's new video snack approach presents a palatable method of teaching new car owners all they want to know about their new vehicle.

Notable recalls, an AW list

Safety recalls in the auto industry range from the insignificant to the downright dangerous. It can be something as small as a door-panel screw or as serious as an exploding gas tank. One thing is for certain: As an auto executive, the last place you want to be is in front of a congressional panel trying to explain what happened.

Citroën Survolt Francoise Nielly art car displayed at C_42, Paris

Citroën's C_42 building on Paris' world famous Champs-Elysées has launched its new exhibition season, with an art car version of its Survolt concept by French artist Francoise Nielly. The use of fluorescent paint in her oil and knife portraits was inspired by a childhood spent in Southern France, where she chased butterflies in the bright Mediterranean sun. Her work has, in turn, inspired Citroën's designers, who cite Nielly's work as the influence behind the vibrant color highlights on the Survolt.
