Advanced driver assistance systems: Cameras or sensor fusion?

Carmakers in Cahoots: Toyota and Subaru’s Alliance Grows Stronger

Since Toyota first purchased a stake in Subaru, the two automakers have been getting awfully cozy.

On the Road Review: Subaru Forester Wilderness

Certain automotive brands have distinguished themselves as standard bearers of responsibility; reliable, practical, and durable point A-To-point B transportation appliances. These consumer products command a level of repeat loyalty, creating a measured amount of comradery among owners. In some cases, specific vehicles from specific brands carry identifiable monikers, some flattering, some not, that other drivers use to say either “I should have one of those,” or, “I would never drive one of those.” Funny how… Read More →

MAX MCRAE’S AUSTRALIAN RETURN ENDS IN DISAPPOINTMENT

Fresh from four different European events in four weeks, Max McRae returned home to Australia brimming with confidence – but the end result wasn’t to be. Strapped back into a Maximum Motorsport Subaru Impreza WRX, 18-year-old McRae was immediately on the pace on the Grimwade Stages – lying second overall after the first stage despite a 10-second time loss due to a spin. That spin was ultimately a precursor to what was about to unravel,… Read More →
