3D Printing Created Working Car

A working vehicle has been created by 3D printing. The Strati, Italian for layers, took 44 hours to complete and was unveiled at the International Manufacturing Technology show last week. Other 3D printed vehicles have been made, but none are able drive. This electric vehicle can reach a speed of 40 mph and can travel 120 miles on one charge. The Strati has 49 parts which is significantly less compared to most vehicles that have anywhere from 5,000 to 6,000. The Strati will have to go through many tests before it becomes street legal.

Honda Designs Hands Free Vehicle

Honda has finally designed a prototype that can safely drive itself. The vehicle, an Acura RLX Sedan, can be hands free or automatic if the driver wants to take control. The Acura RLX has lasers that are constantly scanning its surroundings as well as cameras that monitor the lanes. It can drive accordingly to the speed limit, break when necessary, merge into traffic, and change lanes on its own. The vehicle is even aware of construction zones and knows when to merge to avoid barrier cones. This vehicle is what we think of when we imagine the future of driving.

Why Washing Your Car Matters

While getting a car wash may seem like a hassle, it should be seen as a benefit to car owners. Here at Diamond Valley Honda, we think there are great things that can come from having a clean vehicle:

1. Safety: The buildup of dirt and grime on your vehicle’s mirrors and windows can blur your vision. Making it difficult to see obstructions and on-coming vehicles.

2. Optimize airflow: When your car is clean, it has better airflow which means you get better fuel economy.

3. A Protected Investment: A regular car wash keeps your vehicle in better condition. This means you can receive more money when you decided to get rid of your ride.

4. A Protected Paint Job: Rain and bird droppings contain acid, which will eat through the paint if left on your vehicle too long.

5. Better Health: Washing your car inside and out prevents the growth of bacteria that can get you sick.
