Intoxalock spokesperson Rachael Larson confirmed that the company had been hit by a cyberattack, stating that they took steps to temporarily pause some of their systems as a precautionary measure.

A seatbelt status indicator that doesn't work correctly could create confusion. Not wearing a seatbelt increases the risk of injury in a crash.

At Stellantis headquarters, driving a company car gets you the best parking spots - but driving anything else can get you the boot. When the Jeep parent company ordered employees back to the office five days a week at its Auburn Hills, Michigan campus, workers discovered that parking a Tesla or Hyundai in a spot reserved for Stellantis vehicles could earn them a ticket from security.

The Environmental Protection Agency announced an end Thursday to credits to automakers who install automatic start-stop ignition systems in their vehicles, a device intended to reduce emissions that EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said everyone hates. In remarks with President Donald Trump on Thursday at the White House, Zeldin called start-stop technology the Obama switch and said it makes vehicles die at every red light and stop sign. He said the credits, which also applied to options like improved air conditioning systems, are now over, done, finished.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) said on Thursday that it has upgraded the probe it launched in October 2024 to what's known as an "engineering analysis," its highest level of scrutiny. It's a step that is often required before the agency tells a company to issue a recall.

Roughly half of U.S. states now have their own rules for driverless cars, creating a patchwork of regulations. Lawmakers say that uneven oversight, combined with several high-profile incidents, underscores the need for uniform federal guardrails that don't stifle innovation yet ensure public safety. Senators cite safety issues, demand more transparency "We need more honesty from the industry so that there is in fact transparency in everything that they know that the American public should know as well," said Sen. Ed Markey, D-MA.

The sudden closure derailed his career plans. A trucking job was a path forward, he said, a way to earn a better living than his current rotation of gig jobs, such as putting up blinds and detailing cars. He had quit working, paid about $2,000 in tuition and fees to attend the trucking school and was hiring a babysitter to take care of his two kids so he could attend class for a few hours each day.

It has never been more expensive to buy a new car. The average transaction price last month for buyers in the United States was $48,576, up nearly a third from 2019, according to Edmunds. The "affordable" car-$20,000 or less- is dead. The high prices have been pinned on plenty of economic dynamics: lingering pandemic-era supply chain issues, the introduction of expensive technology into everyday cars, higher labor and raw materials costs, and new tariffs by the Trump administration affecting imported steel, aluminum, and cars themselves.

As vehicles become platforms for software and subscriptions, their longevity is increasingly tied to the survival of the companies behind their code. When those companies fail, the consequences ripple far beyond a bad app update and into the basic question of whether a car still functions as a car. Over the years, automotive software has expanded from performing rudimentary engine management and onboard diagnostics to powering today's interconnected, software-defined vehicles.

Some 337,000 cars, 29,000 of them in Germany, covering five different models are "potentially concerned" by the safety issue, which concerns incorrect routing of the dashboard wiring, said the KBA. The recall concerns the i5, 5, M5, i7 and 7 models built between June 2022 and December 2025.
