You may have heard that Nevada, with its wide open spaces, was adopting a driverless vehicle program, but now California state Senator Alex Padilla, a Democrat representing Pacoima, has introduced legislation requiring the Department of the California Highway Patrol to "adopt safety standards and performance requirements to ensure the safe operation and testing of autonomous vehicles… on the public roads."
If you're wondering whether autonomous vehicles are ready for California traffic, PCMag.com reported that Padilla arrived at the press conference to announce the bill in a modified Toyota Prius that drove at least part of the route without driver intervention. Furthermore, says the PC Mag report, cars modified to drive themselves with state of the art Google sensors, GPS, and computing power have already driven more than 200,000 miles on California roads.
The Chevy Volt was the subject of congressional hearing Wednesday as a subcommittee of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee began hearings about the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's handling of the delayed crash-test battery fire experienced by one Chevy Volt during testing last year. At issue was whether General Motors received special treatment in the form of NHTSA silence about the test crash result, because 26% of GM stock is currently owned by the U.S. Government as a result of the bailout deal.

General Motors Chairman and CEO Dan Akerson testified that GM had received no special treatment and "Although we loaded the Volt with state of the art safety features, we did not engineer it to become a political punching bag."

All of Detroit's Big Three received prominent mentions by President Obama. "General Motors," he said, "is back on top as the world's number one automaker… Tonight, the American auto industry is back."
Is it though? Based on the numbers, it appears that the American auto industry is indeed once again healthy and growing. The Sacramento Bee reported that J.D. Power is projecting January 2012 U.S. auto sales to finish up the month at 681,000 units, representing a 6% increase over the figures from January 2010. Furthermore, light-vehicle production in North America finished 2011 up 10% over 2010.
In the effort to improve gas mileage and wear on tires, some consumers are filling their tires with nearly pure nitrogen instead of the standard compressed air. While tire makers say their tires are designed for plain air, others say nitrogen provides noticeable benefits. Let's look at the available data and see if there really is a difference.
