Australia researchers unveil 'attention-powered' car

Australian road safety researchers on Wednesday unveiled a pioneering "attention-powered car" which uses a headset to monitor brain activity and slow acceleration during periods of distraction.
The car, commissioned by the Royal Automobile Club of Western Australia, is about to depart on an awareness-raising road trip of Western Australia—a sprawling west coast state accounting for about one-third of the Australian continent.

Mercedes-Benz CLA reviewed: The best 2+2 sports car for $30,000, or $40k with tech

The sleek and compact $30,000 Mercedes-Benz CLA you saw in the Super Bowl commercial is real. The CLA is fabulously good-looking at the cost of rear-seat comfort. 
At the same time, it’s a genuine Mercedes with a lot of safety tech in the base model. Equipped for comfortable long-distance cruising, you’re closer to $40,000 than $30,000. Why? To make a serious tech car, you need three packages, each $2,300-$2,500, to get an iPod adapter; navigation; and adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and blind spot detection. Add shipping, you’re at $38,000, and you’re still sitting on vinyl seats.
