Here’s a noodle-scratcher. Why did Ferrari just apply for a patent for a car with two steering wheels? A recent filing with the United States Patent and Trademark Office suggests the legendary sports car manufacturer is working on a new cockpit design that would be universal for both right- and left-hand-drive markets, but it also specifically describes choosing steering position as a matter of preference. But how would that work, and will Ferrari actually go through with the plan?

To get started with competitive Pokémon battles, all you need is your phone. But to compete at the highest level, like at the Pokémon World Championships, you’re going to need a Switch. And there doesn’t seem to be a good reason why.Battle simulator Pokémon Champions originally launched on the Switch and Switch 2 in April, with the mobile version following in June. The experience is nearly identical across the game’s versions; since it’s cross-platform, the choice really comes down to what devices you own and whether you prefer tapping or using a controller. I find myself playing Champions on my…

What level of vision does an autonomous car need to be truly safe on public roads? If we’re going to place our lives in the hands of machines and software, then can we agree that the enabling visual hardware must exceed human 20/20 vision and even achieve “superhuman perception” by pairing high-resolution cameras with a flood of sensor-driven data, perhaps collected with LiDAR? Waymo robotaxis, for instance, crash less often than human drivers, according to recent data, and the company is rolling out its service with test runs in a growing number of US markets. But there’s a distressing blind…

The CarBuzz spy team has spotted the upcoming new Kia Sportage and this time it’s doing something we don’t think owners will ever do. The test mule is in Spain where the sun is still hot, and it is towing a trailer for durability testing. A very heavy trailer, at least by the look of it. Kia Sportage spy photoCarBuzz/Valnet We’ve spotted the new Sportage a few times before, and so the basics aren’t much different. The new Sportage will trade the curvy look of the one on sale now for a shape that’s much more angular and much more…

A modern car’s window sticker is packed with information, and safety ratings are among the most important details. These scores, often shown as stars or descriptive words, come from rigorous testing. This testing predicts how well a vehicle will protect its occupants in a crash. Understanding these ratings is a fundamental part of buying a car. It helps you look beyond just style and performance to choose a vehicle that truly prioritizes your well-being on the road. While the data might seem complex, it boils down to a simple idea: not all cars offer the same level of…

Your PS5’s controller will likely need a replacement before the console itself does, but when should you expect this? Niks Evalds/Getty Images If you’re currently fretting about how long your PlayStation 5 is expected to last, you might also be losing sleep over how much longevity your DualSense controller has left. With the rumored PS6 edging towards the horizon, there may well be a new Sony gamepad on the block soon enough. But what about your current PS5 peripheral? How long can you expect it to last in a world where stick drift quickly ruins controllers? There…

The biggest car news and reviews, no BS Our free daily newsletter sends the stories that really matter directly to you, every weekday. If you want to dress up an engine, valve covers are a solid place to start. Too bad the options usually begin and end with chrome. Sixty years ago, GMC tried something very different. For reasons lost to time and General Motors’ corporate archives, the truck brand briefly offered plaid valve covers on its big-block V6s. If you’ve never seen these, don’t be surprised. They were apparently used only on half-ton trucks equipped with the 305-cubic-inch V6…

Kia’s redesigned 2027 Seltos broke cover this week, and the comparison reviewers keep reaching for says everything: baby Telluride. That’s not a throwaway compliment.
