Honda Seeks to End Traffic Jams with New Technology

Honda is developing a new system that will hopefully put an end to the bane of every city commuter's driving existence. Of course, we are talking about traffic jams. But how can Honda put an end to automotive congestion? By improving the accelerating, decelerating, and braking habits of drivers everywhere.


Honda and the University of Tokyo's Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology are actively developing a new system that will coach drivers on the best techniques based on information gathered from the vehicles in front of them.

Charging the Honda Fit EV the Smart Way

Electric vehicles promise to change the way we approach commuting. They produce zero emissions, are cheaper to fuel than gasoline-powered vehicles, and often require less maintenance. Of course, with all of those pluses, there are sure to be a few drawbacks as well. And one big disadvantage that many automakers have been fighting ever since the creation of the first EV is the stress that millions of them could have on power grids.

Of course, like any problem plaguing electric vehicles, this is one that can be solved. And to do so, Honda has enlisted the help of IBM and…

Honda Assembly Line Workers Win Big in Mega Millions Drawing

With a record-setting jackpot of $656-million, it's no surprise that so many people opted to buy tickets in the Mega Millions drawing on March 30th, 2012. People who'd otherwise never play found themselves in line at convenience stores throughout the country to play, while others went in on "office pools" to buy a ticket and divide the winnings accordingly. The latter option is a great way for those who don't want to commit to playing to have a little bit of fun without getting their hopes up too much.

Of course, sometimes, it's groups like…

The Honda Fit aka the Honda Jazz is a Hit Overseas

Here is something I bet you didn't know, the Honda Fit hatchback is actually a racing star overseas. That's right, the same vehicle you purchase at Manly Honda Santa Rosa - 2750 Corby Ave in Santa Rosa, CA is piling up countless rally car championships throughout Australia.

At one point, Pedder and Ryan suffered transmission…

It will first sell overseas, and then the N Box (which is not a video game system) might make it to North America.

N Box is made from 90% recyclable material, and will feature "one of the largest interiors among all mini-vehicles currently on the market." The car provides ample space for its passengers, while not cheaping out on creature comforts like seating and optional infotainment extras. The auto maker even designed a new suspension for…

But recently, sources have given us good reason to believe that the 2013 Civic model will see some invigorating style changes.

In one review, AutoGuide commented that the Civic Si needs "an injection of testosterone."1 Other Honda followers have…

Honda, "Seinfeld", "Family Guy" and "Rules of Engagement"

Honda has developed a creative, new campaign, called "Good Reasons". Just as the name indicates, the campaign aims to provide prospective car buyers with good reasons to choose Honda, over other brands available in the market. To keep it from being the same-old, same-old, they do it in an incredibly clever way, with the help of comedic actor Patrick Warburton.

Maybe, you've previously enjoyed Warburton's off-handed sarcasm in shows such as Seinfeld, Family Guy, and Rules of Engagement. Well, he brings the same kind of punch from those shows to the new series of Honda spots, scheduled to…
