My Dog Urinates in My Car?

Have you heard buzz about some of the new methods that drivers are using to get from place to place, without having to own a vehicle? Gone are the days of simply using a taxi, as technology and modern convenience has made it easier to offer travelers versatility in their transportation choices.  So, what exactly is a car sharing service, and how do car sharing services work? We'll tell you that and more! more What is Car Sharing? In order to make travel and the daily commute more environmentally friendly, and easy for drivers who do not own their own vehicle, the idea of car sharing was put into motion. Those who need to travel a short distance, and won't be using a vehicle for very long can become a member in a community organization that shares vehicles between its members. Members can pay to utilize a car by the hour, or by the day. Read More: Self-Driving Cars by 2017 All drivers do is apply and become approved as a member of the carsharing organization chosen. Then, they reserve a vehicle for a couple hours or the whole day. Drivers walk up to the car they have reserved (parked in a convenient location somewhere in the city), and use it for the reserved time. When it comes close to the end of the reserved time, they simply return the vehicle to its reserved parking spot. It's that simple! Best Car Sharing Programs in the US There are a number of different organizations for car sharing in the US. If you live in or near a big city, this can be a great method of transportation without needing to purchase a vehicle for each driver in the household. Some great options for car sharing in the US include: Lyft, Uber, and Zipcar.

The limo known as “The Beast” or “Limo One”, is a Cadillac that could probably drive through a war zone with less effort than it takes you to drive to the grocery store. The limo shares almost nothing in common with a standard production car, so just what is the president’s limo made out of? For starters, it has a diesel engine and transmission that you would most likely find in a dump truck or a U-Haul truck. more How Strong is Limo One? It has enough power to obviously get a large vehicle with a heavy payload moving, which means this vehicle has to have more torque than any average vehicle on the road. You could probably use it at a construction site effectively if you added a trailer hitch to it. It’s also more durable than any vehicle you would find there. Its five-inch windows could likely outlast the body of most vehicles. It has 8-inch armor plating and the doors are just as heavy as a Boeing 757 aircraft’s. It also has Kevlar reinforced bus-size tires that can run while flat and it is shut off from the world from the inside so not even chemicals can get in.

It does however have enough equipment in the trunk to outfit a small army. It can also seat seven passengers so you can take that army with you. And since seven isn’t always enough, the secret services has made a few other similarly equipped vehicles. Drivers of this mighty steed are trained with police-style evasion techniques and can make this weighty vehicle move like a sports sedan. It could definitely take on a tank, or the zombie apocalypse. In fact, it’s probably an integral part of that pentagon plan for a zombie attack. READ MORE: Does My Car Have Keyless Entry?

Self-Driving Cars Available in the U.S. Unless you particularly enjoy the witty banter of your chauffeur, you can expect to give him the boot in 2017. Or if you don’t have one, you don’t need to worry about finding one. The Cadillac CTS will be one of the few self-driving cars available in the U.S. by 2017. Luxury is being taken to a whole new level as Cadillac gives us what “customers around the world want.” more The Future is Now Beating many automakers’ former estimates of 2020, Cadillac is going to give the world a self driving vehicle just two years from now. The automaker hasn’t said much on the subject in the past, maybe they’ve been waiting to play their hand and see if anyone was as close as them, or they just happened to finally crack the code. Either way, we’re excited for a future where steering wheels are more of an option rather than something we have to hold onto while we drive. Our arms get tired sometimes, just like our legs, which is why we have cruise control. READ MORE: Why Choose a Crossover SUV vs Minivan? Super Cruise The feature for the self-driving technology will be called Super Cruise technology, which can control steering, acceleration and braking in both high-speed situations as well as in stop-and-go traffic. Though you shouldn’t sleep behind the wheel, with Super Cruise you probably could. The luxury sedan will also be able to communicate with similarly equipped vehicles for a safer performance on the road. Is This The End? There is no need to be worried about this technology being on the road. It will simply free up more time for drivers, or make it safer for people who like to text while drinking coffee and maybe looking at the road from time to time. So no, there will not be some kind of Maximum Overdrive/Skynet takeover once the Cadillac CTS sedan hits the roads in 2017. READ MORE: Brand New Buick Encore for 2016!
