He was an early advocate for the “car as computer on wheels” concept more than a decade ago. Since then, every automaker in the world has been trying to jump on that bandwagon, with limited success. It turns out that the legacy car companies are a lot better at making hardware than than they are making the software that controls most of the cars manufactured today. In the near future, almost every new vehicle will depend on software to function properly. Whether that is a good thing or not is a matter of opinion.

The only manual V8 RWD sedan left in America is a compelling proposition all on its own; the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a reminder of what AMG used to be, and after being refreshed for 2025 with new looks and a 33-inch touchscreen, it's on par with German automakers in the interior tech department. The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing didn't get any performance enhancements when it was revealed at the beginning of this year, and we didn't think it needed any, but now Cadillac has addressed the issue with a new Precision Package that promises enhanced handling for all driving conditions.

The mid-2000s saw the launch of new SUV that offered three-rows of seating, off-road capability, and V8 engine options. The Jeep Commander was the automakers answer to popular competitors like the Honda Pilot, Ford Explorer, and Toyota Highlander. One version of Commander even featured a 5.7L Hemi V8, making it one of the most powerful Jeep models ever built. This SUV was built using the Grand Cherokee as a foundation, which was a strong starting point. However, this seven-seat SUV struggled to attract buyers, and its strongest sales year of 2006 only saw 88,497 units sold in the U.S., per GoodCarBadCar.com. The Jeep Commander, which seemed like a slam dunk on paper, was only produced from 2005 until being discontinued in 2010.

At home, it means never having to go to a gas station or an EV charging station. The “I’ll fill up in the morning” thing where you forget about it and then end up late to work isn’t a thing anymore. Every day you start out with a “full tank.” However, away from home, it can be harder to find that experience.
