Report: LA police officers who alleged ticket quota system win $2M judgment (Autoblog)

Apr 12th 2011 3:15PM That'll never happen. Once people know that every single violation will be caught, no one will drive over the speed limit. Then, city will lose revenue, but they'll have to keep paying for maintenance for all the cameras. City will never do that. They will place just enough camera, so the violation won't go down.

Plug in Cars: Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid missing critical EV button (Autoblog Green)

Feb 28th 2011 11:40PM That's what the standard Prius already does when it's in Eco mode. Eco mode is more efficient than EV mode.
However, there are certain scenarios where only human can figure out that EV mode is preferable to Eco mode. (for example, car is inside and they don't want to produce emission.)

Rumormill: Next Bugatti Veyron to hit 270 mph (Autoblog)

Jan 12th 2011 2:03PM Toyota Prius was probably the hardest "vehicle" to engineer.
