This Soviet-era Zil PEU-1B six-wheeled rover was commissioned during the height of the Cold War by the USSR to retrieve fallen satellites, space junk and even cosmonauts returning from orbit. The search and rescue vehicle has been lovingly restored to its former glory over three years on the territory of the old Zil factory in Moscow and is now roving through the countryside once more.
Hundreds of Corvette-owners revved their engines along the Ocean City boardwalk in Maryland on Saturday, for the 30th annual Corvette Weekend, a charity event and Corvette parade of around 700 Corvettes. Brand new Corvettes revved up beside classics in a parade that welcomes Corvettes from all generations. However, Corvette Weekend was bitter sweet because the parade also marks the end of the driving season for many Corvette enthusiasts, especially for owners of rare old models too sensitive for the winter cold. Hosted by the Free State Corvette Club, a club of Corvette enthusiasts, Corvette Weekend includes car a show, rally and a parade down the city Boardwalk as a fundraiser for four different charities, including Spina Bifida, United Service Organizations, Change Inc, and the Therapeutic Recreational Riding Center. And of course, not to be forgotten, Batman was also there in his Batvett, making sure justice was being done. Stylish and well-kept older models and modified road warriors of the iconic and classic American car line the streets of Ocean City for one weekend every year - what's not to love about Corvette weekend?

Le constructeur suédois Volvo Cars tire profit des capacités de la montre connectée Band 2 de l'Américain Microsoft pour commander à distance le chauffage, les vitres ou la navigation de la voiture. "Nous n’innovons pas pour le plaisir d’innover. Lorsqu’un système ne rend pas la vie de nos clients plus facile, plus belle, plus sûre et plus agréable, nous ne le retenons pas. Mais honnêtement : qui n’a pas rêvé de parler à sa voiture à travers un bracelet comme dans les films ?", s’interroge Klas Bendrik, Vice-Président senior et Directeur des technologies de l’information chez Volvo Car Group. Pas sûr toutefois que tout le monde apprécie de jouer les David Hasselhoff en public : balayer du doigt l'écran de son smartphone est autrement plus discret.
