The Best Automotive Tech at CES 2025

|
By Rory Carroll Verified, Rose Pastore
| Gizmodo Verified
This year’s CES saw a number of major automakers skip the show amidst a disappointing market for tech-forward products and a political climate that could see that market worsen. It’s not unusual for automakers to pull back on major expenses like exhibiting at a trade show in response to “uncertainty,” and when it comes to the future of the U.S. car business, there’s plenty of that to go around. But even in a light year for mobility, we managed to find some cool stuff. Here are our highlights.

Honda’s Wild 0 Series EVs Slated for 2026

|
By Rory Carroll Verified, Rose Pastore
| Gizmodo Verified
At last year’s CES, Honda introduced the wild, wedge-shaped 0 Series EV concept. Last fall, North American journalists traveled to Japan to see how Honda was progressing toward bringing the car to market. Surely, we all thought, Honda would tone down the car’s styling before it hits dealer lots—`there’s no way that design will make it to production. We were half right, as this week at CES, Honda revealed two 0 (said as “zero”) Series prototypes that look even wilder.

Toyota’s 'Woven City' Is Coming Together

|
By Rory Carroll Verified, Rose Pastore
| Gizmodo Verified
Toyota chairman Akio Toyoda appeared at CES today to announce progress on the company’s Woven City project which, true to its name, is an actual city where Toyota and other companies hope to invent and validate new technologies. The first phase of construction is complete, and the first companies who will participate in the project have been named. If you’re wondering, the “woven” thing is because, before it made cars, Toyota made weaving looms.

Honda’s 0 Series EV Looks Like An Ambitious Entry Into A Frosty EV Market

|
By Rory Carroll Verified
| Jalopnik Verified
Just when Honda’s restrained approach to the EV rush of the early 2020s was more or less vindicated, the company showed a wild looking pair of EV concepts at last year’s CES. The company said at the time that the 0 Series cars represented a rebirth, or a fresh start for the company; a Honda 2.0, shall we say. Last week in Japan, I saw that Honda intends more than just concept car fluff for the Saloon and Space-Hub — it is actually on track to build at least one of them.

Here's A Massive Gallery From The Goodwood Revival, The World's Best Car Event

By Rory Carroll Verified
| Jalopnik Verified
Yeah, this is a little late, but the photos are still really good. We may earn a commission from links on this page. The Goodwood Revival is known as “the period clothes one” and it is that. But, more importantly, it’s the best car event on the planet. The racing is phenomenal, with big name drivers piloting bigger-name cars around Goodwood’s high-speed road course but it’s much more than that.

Here's How My Honda-Powered Lada With A BRZ Chassis Made It To The Empire Hill Climb Original

By Rory Carroll Verified
| Jalopnik Verified
According to Peter’s text records, the call to pull the engine was made at 2AM on race day. I’d slept a few hours on Wednesday, one hour on Thursday and was about to get a nice round zero before piloting a car that had never been driven —by anyone — up a narrow road course in the woods. We’d been talking about Steve Albini, so we put Terraform on the shop stereo.

Enter Horrific World Of YouTube Car Content For Kids

|
By Rory Carroll Verified
| Jalopnik Verified
If you’ve got kids, they’ve likely been exposed to YouTube via grandma’s iPad more than once. If they like cars, the algorithm is very likely serving them some weird, bootleg car content that gives me the absolute creeps to watch. Keeping an eye on kids and providing them with enriching, meaningful experiences is a lot of work, especially if you’re working a job or two. It’s not really for me to blame people for how they make it work.

Haha, well it looks like the last time I updated you on the K-swapped, chassis swapped Lada build it was October. That can’t be right, can it? The good news is that I’ve been working on it. The bad news is that somehow over the last ten months I went from confidently checking things off my list to panicked thrash ahead of a rapidly approaching deadline.

Dodge is out this week with a clip of the new Charger making some kind of noise, Hyundai was pretty widely praised for adding a selection of synthesized engine noises to the Ionic 5 N’s list of beloved attributes and automakers the world over are trying to work out just what an electric car should sound like, emotionally.

Swim In The Pain Of Retrieving A Lost Drill Bit From Deep Inside A Mini

| Jalopnik Verified
You probably know this feeling. You drop something, a fastener, a socket, a shotgun shell into your engine bay. First you look. Can you see it? No. Then you stick one of those little magnet retriever things down where you think the object may have gone. It sticks to everything else, but you can’t pull your object back out. Shit. You look under the car. Did it bounce out? It did not. At this point, you have to ask,“Is it near anything that would be damaged by it? Can I just...Leave it in there?” You can’t.

It’s probably pretty miserable outside where you are. If you’re smart, you’re online, looking to purchase a cheap boat to have trouble free fun with this summer.

Luckily, we all know engine problems are easy to fix with a quick engine swap. Our friend Reed here knows, which is why he found a way to mount a mighty and mighty wonderful sounding VR6 in his old ass boat.

A few short years ago in 2019 roughly 600,000 visitors passed through its hallowed halls. COVID-19 forced the cancellation of the 2020-2022 shows, and everyone thought it was over.

Their resistance may seem unreasonable, but car dealers do have a point: If consumers in their areas don’t want EVs, why should they be burdened with the task of trying to sell them.
