One of the most widely-used technologies in the world today is the modern automobile. All over Malaysia and the rest of the world, it's quite easy to agree that there are just so many cars. Sometimes way too many driving on the road at any given time. For the most part, this doesn't concern us since we only have one car to worry about: the one that we own. But imagine if you were the owner of your own business that uses a large number of cars or trucks every day; how would you keep track of each one?
We’re pretty sure that almost everyone driving on our Malaysian roads has experienced the “wonders” of the pothole. Sometimes, our roads become pockmarked with holes, both big and small, and these in turn can cause significant damage to your car and your tires.

Read MoreTwo of the biggest luxury car rivals, Daimler AG and BMW AG, have joined forces to develop self-driving cars in a partnership to develop the next generation of autonomous-driving technology. The automakers have announced that they are developing cars capable of self-navigation without intervention from the driver, who will remain behind the wheel.
There was a time not too long ago when autonomous driving was something only found in science fiction novels or shows. The time has arrived, where over the next decade, the car industry is set to undergo the biggest changes it has seen in 30 years. As we stand at the entrance to a new era of automated driving, let’s get a closer look at the five levels of autonomy, and its interconnection between the driver, the car, and the world.
Etiquette is described as “the customary code of polite behaviour”, but as far as driving goes, etiquette is not part of the traffic laws that govern our conduct on the road. The Japanese are well known and revered for their culture of respect and conscientiousness, something we could all get a little more acquainted with and possibly adopt.

When we hear that people are sleeping at the wheel, we immediately think of the dangers of driving while sleepy. However, in Japan, this is more common than you would expect, with a slight twist. Surveys have shown that Japanese rental cars are often returned with zero mileage clocked, which is weird considering that cars are rented and expected to be driven. But the Japanese people are apparently using the cars for purposes other than driving. These activities include using the rental cars to catch up on some much needed rest, a private space to do some work or even to brush up on language skills.

Read MoreWhen it comes to customizing your car’s colour, people will usually think about getting a new paint job and changing it to just the right colour, with just the right type of finish like metallic or matte.

After awhile, your car almost seems to become like an extension of your own body. You start to ‘become one with the car’, and almost as if you’ve developed a sixth sense, you are able to know when something just isn’t quite right.

Unfortunately, when you take your car in to the workshop for a mechanic to examine it, you may be at a loss for words on how to describe the problem that you just know you car is struggling with.
Electric cars have been steadily improving over the years, with advancement in battery and charging technology being improved almost by leaps and bounds. However, the time taken to fully charge an electric car remains one of the most annoying parts of owning one. Refueling a conventional gasoline car takes anywhere from 3-5 minutes, depending on how big and empty your petrol tank is.
