The surprising history of driverless cars

Driverless cars have been around for a while. Although our roads are not (yet) dominated by autonomous vehicles, they are becoming increasingly popular. The concept of driverless vehicles dates all the way back to the mid 20th century, and while there were some successful advances in technology, it was not until the new millennium that autonomous cars started to find their place in the world. Click through the gallery to discover the history of driverless cars.

We built a $10M mansion in a shed - then dropped a car through the roof

Behind us sits the wreckage of what looked like a $10 million mansion, but was really just a shed we turned into a full-blown “Hollywood” movie set. We gambled everything on a chaotic Sweet 16 story where a spoiled birthday wish ends with a G-Wagon crashing through the ceiling, and we learned the hard way that $50,000 doesn’t go as far as you think when lighting, audio, and visuals actually matter. From climbing through sunroofs to surviving near-misses under falling roof panels, the whole production spiraled into a loud, confusing mess - but it was the perfect practice run for a real movie someday. And while the internet had plenty to say about it, we’re using the moment to spotlight Sweep Away Cancer, a charity that helps people fighting cancer right now by directly covering bills, mortgages, and utilities.

What it takes to push this Lamborghini to 1,000 HP

Most people think “cheap Lamborghini” means fragile supercar problems. But this one hides a seriously overbuilt engine that can handle almost 1,000 horsepower without drama.

This isn’t just a bargain exotic - it’s a potential monster.

How global rallycross supercars hit 60 mph in 1.9 seconds

Regulations limit them to 2 liter engines and 45 millimeter turbocharger restrictor plates, which ultimately are the two factors limiting power. The engines produce about 600 horsepower, and over 650 lb-ft of torque, rocketing these machines from 0-60 in as fast as 1.9 seconds. 1.9 seconds! If we do the math, 60 mph is equivalent to 88 ft per second. 88/1.9 = 46.3 ft/sec squared, or if we divided by 32.2, it means the cars accelerate at over 1.4 longitudinal g’s!! That’s faster than any production vehicle, regardless of how much it costs. So how do they achieve such mind blowing acceleration? First and foremost, you’ll need all wheel drive and an absurd power to weight ratio. With a minimum weight of 2921 pounds including the driver and all fluids, the vehicles are carrying less than 5 pounds of weight for every horsepower the engine produces. All wheel drive is obviously critical for maximizing acceleration, but it’s also important that the engine torque finds its way to the wheels with the most traction. To do this, plate and ramp style mechanical limited slip differentials are used front and back. A shallow ramp angle in an LSD will lock up more easily under throttle. With the differential locked up, torque goes wherever it finds grip. A steep ramp angle will provide little lock-up, or if it’s as steep as 90 degrees, no lockup.
