Our gadget or gimmick...

Our gadget or gimmick test (Issue 957) was fascinating stuff, but occasionally I wonder if manufacturers are having a laugh at our expense with some of the nonsense they cram into cars these days.

These are the pictures...

These are the pictures that prove Saab is getting serious about the development of its new SUV. So say hello to the new 9-4X - which made its debut at the Detroit Auto Show as a biopower badged concept car.

Here"s a smart idea...

Here"s a smart idea... the DVLA is to try out a new way of preventing motorists from illegally sitting learners’ tests. It’s planning a trial of ‘smart’ provisional driving licences.

An electronic chip embedded in the plastic will hold personal data and a colour photo of the novice. As black-and-white pictures are currently used, the colour image will make it easier for test centres to confirm a learner’s identity. Around 30,000 drivers will be involved in the study when it starts next year.

In the meantime, the DVLA has launched a public consultation on the proposals to find out what motorists think of the scheme.
