To engineers, CVTs are brilliant solutions to both fuel economy and acceleration. But thankfully, our world isn’t so boring that every decision made is based purely on logic (even if I’d prefer it). Car buying is an emotional endeavor, and marketing suggests that many people simply...
Building cars is hard, even when you’re the biggest tech company in the world. Apple knew that if it was going to come out with an electric car it had to be the best. The best looking, the most advanced specifications and the best performance. Which in all is an impossible t...

People in developing areas are always sensitive to the price due to budget constraints. Focusing on heterogeneous intention is very important for two reasons. First, the policy implication will be very interesting to policy-makers. On one hand, measures such as nurturance education start with kids...
