See Less, Hit More: How Your New Car's Blind Spots Are Expanding
Blind spots are the new safety issue Today's new cars offer a litany of cool, groundbreaking technology, whether it's smartphone integration features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cameras capturing 360-degree views around the vehicle, or 'safety suites' that help prevent collisions with other cars and pedestrians. Although significant advances have made cars faster, more efficient, and safer, data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) show that over the 25-year period from 1997 to 2022, pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities on U.S. roads have increased by 37% and 42%, respectively. A new study produced using new technology developed by safety experts at the IIHS shows that there could be another factor in this unfortunate phenomenon. 0:03 / 0:09 Chevrolet says a next-gen Camaro is still possible. What could it look like? Watch More 2025 Toyota Camry XSE — Source: Toyota IIHS-developed tech exposed the truth about cars' visibility In a new study led by researchers from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Volpe Center, new technology developed by the IIHS was used to measure the driver's direct area of vision around a vehicle to examine how vehicle design factors in driver visibility and the risk of getting into a crash. They found that over the course of multiple redesigns from 1997 to 2023, six popular cars sold in the United States, the Chevrolet Suburban, Ford F-150, Honda Accord, Honda CR-V, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Toyota Camry, got progressively harder to see out of over the 25-year span they existed on the market. The IIHS-developed tech uses computational software and a portable, adjustable 360-degree camera that can be mounted at various heights to represent different-sized drivers. The software then takes the images from the 360-degree camera and turns them into a blind zone map. This map gives an overhead view of the vehicle, shows the closest spots on the ground that the driver can see, and calculates a percentage that reflects how much of the area around the vehicle is visible.

The Center and the Institute looked at how well a theoretical driver could see out front of their cars within a 10-meter radius, which is roughly the distance a driver needs to stop when going 10 mph, a speed at which blind spots can really contribute to accidents. The researchers then figured out the percentage of the 180-degree area in front of the car that is clear of obstacles that can block the view, like the hood, rearview mirror, and A-pillars. 2025 Chevrolet Suburban High Country — Source: Chevrolet According to the IIHS, SUVs and crossovers saw some of the sharpest reductions in forward vision space. Their data shows that 1997 Honda CR-V drivers can see 68% of everything 10 meters ahead, but that 2023 CR-V drivers could see just 28% across the same distance. The bigger Chevrolet Suburban showed similar results. The cameras showed that drivers in the 2000 Suburban were able to see 56% of the area 10 meters in front of them, but just 28% across the same distance in the 2023 model. The researchers found that in both the CR-V and the Suburban, the blind zones got smaller because of a taller hood that blocks more of what's in front, combined with bigger side mirrors that mess with the view at the front corners. The IIHS also found that the forward visibility provided by the F-150 declined, although it already started from a low percentage from the outset. Despite its rounded design, drivers in the 1997 F-150 were only able to see 43% of the forward area within a 10-meter radius, which dropped to just 36% by the 2015 model year. However, sedans performed better than SUVs and trucks, although they also suffered from the same issues. Forward visibility in the 2003 Honda Accord was 65%, dropping to just 60% for the 2023 model year. The Accord's main competitor, the Toyota Camry, saw similar results; drivers in the 2007 Camry had 61% forward visibility, dropping to 57% in the 2023 model. Final Thoughts The new data shows that new cars are harder to see out of than ever before. However, the fact that SUVs and crossovers are hotter than ever before, combined with the fact that there's a design-inflicted decline in the ability to see out of them, means we may have a serious problem on our hands. 'These results are notable because we already know that the portion of SUVs in the U.S. fleet grew substantially over these years as well,' said IIHS Senior Research Engineer Becky Mueller. 'If further research confirms that these changes reflect a general change, that would suggest that declining visibility in SUVs has compounded the effects of taller, blunt-nosed vehicles that IIHS has already documented.'

‘I Legit Have Nightmares:' Customer Buys Chevy Suburban From Dealership. Then She Runs Into This Issue 3 Weeks Later
A mom shared scary footage of her Chevy Suburban's brakes allegedly failing while she was on the road, just three weeks after buying it. Tiffany Maillet (@upholsterygirl239) uploaded the viral clip on TikTok, where it accrued over 5.9 million views. In it, her evident panic was captured in the moment, along with how she worked with an officer to get her car to stop. The mother of five writes in a text overlay that's visible from the onset of her video, 'Just got a Chevy Suburban from the Chevy Dealership and experienced something out of my nightmares. I'm a mom of 5 kids and I HAVE to have my car. I just paid for summer camp for Monday. Today is my son's birthday. This is so awful.' Her TikTok shows dashcam footage recorded while she's on the road. Next, she suddenly makes an exclamation that would make any driver's heart sink and stomach churn: 'My, my, my car's not braking! My car's not braking!' The vehicle in front of her appears to come to a stop, its red brake lights engaged. Suburban Brake Failure On the TikToker's dashcam, she can be seen lurching ahead, nearing the stopped vehicle. On the opposite side of the road, a white SUV with flashing emergency lights is parked. The car on the road in front of her slowly moves up, creating enough room for her to veer into the far left lane. It's separated by a concrete curb divider, which the TikToker careens toward as she honks her horn several times. 'It's not braking!' she says with a cracked, fearful voice. Following this, she drives up on the curb, stopping right beside the white SUV, which has the word 'Sheriff' written on the side. Once she's adjacent to the police officer's vehicle, she shouts out to the officer. 'My car won't brake! I'm pushing so hard on the pedal!' she says. Quickly, the law enforcement official informs her to 'put on the emergency brake.' She hesitates and then quickly asks, 'Where's the emergency brake?' He repeats again, 'emergency brake.' She states, 'I'm pushing so hard on my brake!' and as she does so, a radio can be heard going off in the background of the clip. Emergency Brake Engaged Next, it seems she's managed to locate the emergency braking mechanism while the officer exits his vehicle to assist her. 'This thing?' she asks, sniffling. 'Yes, push that down,' he says. The mom then tearfully says to her husband on the phone, 'I'm next to the cop right now,' before explaining what happened to her vehicle. 'I was stopped back at that stop sign, and ... I was holding the brake down, and it kind of felt like it crunched for a second.' The officer replies, 'Yeah.' She continues, 'And it just started sliding and it wouldn't stop going, and I'm like holding it down as hard as I could.' Then, she addresses her husband on the phone, 'Can you call your mom because she's behind me and I want her to know. All right, bye.' At the end of her video, she tells the officer that she just recently purchased the car 'three weeks ago.' What Should You Do If Your Brakes Fail? Ideally, no driver would ever have to deal with brake failure. However, there are methods folks can adhere to in order to safely bring their car to a stop in the event their brakes give out. First, commuters should attempt to pump their brakes in case they've locked up. In some cases, repeatedly engaging the brakes can 'unlock' them, bringing vehicles to a stop. If that doesn't work, defensive driving school iDriveSafely recommends immediately putting on one's hazard lights. This will alert others on the road to steer clear of your car. Following this, place your vehicle into a lower gear. Doing so will 'slow down your car.' Conversely, the outlet cautions against immediately placing the car in neutral. That's because it 'will take away the engine braking effect.' Consequently, one's car won't start to decelerate. Furthermore, instantly shutting off one's car will also disable power steering, making it harder to control. Once your car is slowing down, slowly guide it to an area away from regular traffic flow. This can be a shoulder, outlet, or slightly raised curve, or even on the outskirts of the left or right-most lane. Next, iDriveSafely recommends engaging the emergency brake. Often, this brake's engagement system is in the form of a lever located near the car's center console. Many vehicles place it in the form of a small pedal left of the standard brake, so be cognizant of where it is and how to activate your e-brake. Chevy Dealership Admits Fault Following her harrowing road incident, Maillet posted other videos pertaining to her experience. In this particular TikTok commenting on the situation, she shared the outcome of her correspondence with the dealership. According to her, the reason she wasn't able to stop was due to aftermarket brakes. Additionally, she says a service tech informed the sales team that the brakes would need to be swapped out prior to the sale for safety reasons. However, she says the sales manager didn't want to eat the cost of a brake swap. Ultimately, Maillet added that upon escalating the issue, the dealership admitted fault. At the end of her clip, Maillet speculated just how much more dangerous a situation she could've found herself in. 'I MEAN I COULD HAVE BEEN GOING 80 DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY FAMILY WAS AT RISK. complete negligence,' she writes in a text overlay. More on Dealerships 'This Is Why No One Wants to Work at Dealerships:' Mechanic Works on Audi With Nail in Tire. Then He Turns on the Computer Dealership Worker Is Oh-So-Close To Closing Car Sale. Then a Receptionist Ruins It In 1 Minute What Maillet found even more troubling was the fact that her five children were with her when she bought the car, meaning the sales team had no qualms with putting all of them in a vehicle that had potentially faulty brakes. 'I legit went to the dealership with my 5 kids and he still thought it was a good idea to stick me in the Suburban absolute shame on @chevrolet,' she writes in the caption. When Dealerships Give You a Dud Unfortunately, used car sales isn't exactly known to be the most scrupulous of vocations. But just because a car is previously owned doesn't mean buyers aren't legally protected by what Lemon Car Law refers to as 'implied warranties.' This effectively means 'the dealer guarantees the vehicle will function as it is supposed to,' the outlet states. However, there is some nomenclature to consider. If you purchase a vehicle 'as is' from a dealer, then you are assuming all liability for any repairs to the vehicle. This doesn't seem to be the case with Maillet's purchase, as she explained the Chevy dealership took responsibility for not swapping the brakes. But not everyone is so fortunate as to have purchased a car from a dealership that's willing to own up to its mistakes. And if you didn't enter an 'as-is' agreement and the dealership lies about any damage incurred to the vehicle, you could have a claim against it. Furthermore, as Lemon Car Law states, if integral components are compromised, then drivers could take legal action. There are several steps involved in this process. First, Lemon Car Law recommends contacting your state's consumer protection office. This will allow you to start a record of lodging a formal complaint against the dealership that sold you the vehicle. Moreover, lodging a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) may also help garner more attention to your claim. While possessing no legal authority, many companies take BBB ratings seriously. So, bad marks against the company could incentivize it to take action. Additionally, should your vehicle still fall under the manufacturer's base warranty, Lemon Car Law also suggests filing with the National Center for Dispute Settlement. Commenters React Maillet also narrated in the video, 'Just talked to the general manager of Chevy, and they told me they never should have sold me that car, and that they were in the wrong, and they're sorry.' Several folks who replied to her video concurred with the general manager's statement that the dealership was in the wrong. One user penned, 'You have a lawsuit!' urging Maillet to take legal action against the business. Another echoed this sentiment, stating their admittance of fault may ultimately assist with her claim: 'Call a lawyer - IMMEDIATELY! They just admitted fault and incompetence. Go get your coin.' 'Huge huge lawsuit. You cannot release a car with compromised brakes,' someone else wrote. Others on TikTok shared experiences working in auto sales that were similar to Maillet's close call. 'I hated doing used cars because of stuff like this. Sales only want to do enough to get it to roll off the lot. Who cares about customer safety right?' According to this user, refusal to perform component swaps is a common occurrence. 'Happens all the time. And the service department always gets the blame.' However, there was someone else who appeared confused about the hate directed toward third-party vehicle options. 'What's wrong with aftermarket Brakes? There are millions of cars/trucks on the road with non oem brakes on them and have no issues.' Motor1 has reached out to Maillet via TikTok comment for further information. The story will be updated should she respond. Now Trending 'I've Got a Scat, I Love It:' Dealership Customer Asks About a 'Shelby' They Spotted on the Lot.

Man convicted of manslaughter charged in Burlington carjacking
A man previously convicted of manslaughter was among two suspects arrested by Halton police after an alleged carjacking in Burlington on June 25. At around 5:35 p.m. Wednesday, a woman was driving her Porsche Macan SUV in the area of Guelph Line and Derry Road when she became concerned that she was being followed by a grey Chevrolet pickup truck, Halton police said in a press release. When the victim pulled into the parking lot of Kilbride Public School it's alleged two masked men got out of the truck and pointed handguns at her. Police said the victim immediately surrendered the Porsche, at which point the suspects took both vehicles and left. The victim was not injured. Halton police were contacted and began searching for the two vehicles. About one hour later, police said, officers found the Porsche abandoned in a parking lot in the area of Tobyn and Kilmer drives . The Chevrolet pickup truck was also found in the same area. As the investigation progressed, police said, officers were able to identify the two suspects. On June 26 at around 1:10 p.m., both suspects were located in the area of Walkers Line and Kilmer Drive . A 33-year-old Burlington man was immediately taken into custody, with police also reportedly seizing illicit drugs and two loaded firearms. Police allege the second man fled the area in a Volkswagen SUV, but this vehicle was soon found in Burlington's Sherwood Forest Park and an arrest was made. After the arrest, police said, Freddy, a Halton Police Services dog, and his handler were conducting a search in a wooded area of Sherwood Forest Park when the dog's paw touched a firearm, allegedly discarded by the suspect. The gun went off, injuring the dog's foot. Police said Freddy received medical attention and is expected to make a full recovery. Halton Police Chief Stephen Tanner said in a media release that this incident is troubling for multiple reasons. 'I am deeply concerned by the escalating level of violence and the use of loaded firearms in the commission of these crimes,' he said. 'Let me be perfectly clear — this type of criminal behaviour will not be tolerated in our community. If convicted, I am hopeful the courts will impose substantial sentences that reflect the serious and dangerous nature of these offences.' The chief said he was also concerned about the backgrounds of the individuals now charged. He noted the 33-year-old Burlington suspect was convicted of manslaughter in 2018 for an armed home invasion in which a woman was shot and killed. 'He was sentenced to 10 years, but released early after receiving 16 months of credit for pre-sentence custody,' said Tanner. 'At the time of Wednesday's carjacking, he was out on statutory parole.' Tanner said the 32-year-old Oakville man arrested in Sherwood Forest Park was bound by multiple probation orders and a release order related to firearms offences. The two suspects face a number of charges, including robbery with a firearm, pointing a firearm, stealing a vehicle using violence and unauthorized possession of a weapon. During the investigation, police also reportedly seized a 3D printer and 3D printed firearms (ghost guns), along with a vehicle reprogramming device. Anyone with information regarding this investigation is asked to contact Halton police at 905-825-4777 ext. 2316 .

Why the Chevrolet Corvette is a CarExpert Choice winner
The Porsche 911 has long been the yardstick against which all luxury sports cars are measured, but there's a new kid in town. The latest Chevrolet Corvette has now managed what the brilliant but too expensive and too limited Honda NSX – and the highly underrated but now discontinued Audi R8 – failed to do: topple the 911 to become our pick as the finest luxury sports car available. General Motors shocked the world when it launched the eighth generation of its lauded Corvette in 2019, releasing not only the first global version produced in both left- and right-hand drive, but the first one with a mid-mounted engine. The move made Chevrolet's iconic sports car a more direct rival for the likes of the Ferrari 296, Lamborghini Huracan and, yes, the rear-engined 911. Launched with what GM does best – a big-bore V8 – the ground-breaking C8 promised Ferrari levels of engine and chassis performance in a purpose-built two-seat sports car, for Chevrolet money. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Indeed, Australian Chevrolet distributor GM Specialty Vehicles announced a base price of $144,990 before on-road costs for the Stingray in March 2021. By the time first deliveries took place in September 2021, the first batch of 250 vehicles was already sold out and there was no ETA on further shipments, while some dealers were gouging potential customers tens of thousands of dollars on top of official list prices. But after growing demand from disenfranchised GM performance car fans following the axing of Holden, HSV and the locally converted Chevrolet Camaro in 2020, more supplies eventually arrived in late 2023 after several production delays and a $15k base price hike. The hot Z06 arrived around the same time, priced from a cool $336,000, followed by the electrified $275,000 E-Ray in August 2024, and more price hikes for the Stingrays that now start at $186,990. Nevertheless, that's just $10,000 more than the cheapest BMW M4 and still almost $100,000 less than the most affordable 911, both of which offer less power. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Sadly, while the Z06 rides on Carbon Revolution wheels made in Australia, its exhaust and therefore power output were nobbled by our government's fun police. In more sad news, the most ferocious versions of the C8 – including the ZR1 that packs a twin-turbo version of the Z06's 5.5-litre flat-plane crank V8, making a mammoth 783kW of power and 1123Nm of torque, and probably the hybridised ZR1X that develops an incredible 932kW – will only be produced in left-hand drive, ruling them out for official Australian release. But no Corvette is a wallflower, with even the base Stingray 2LT Coupe and Convertible using a naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8 producing 369kW and 637Nm of torque. The Z06 Coupe cranks out a healthy 475kW/595Nm, and the E-Ray adds a front electric motor to the Stingray recipe to deliver all-wheel drive and a very generous 488kW/807Nm. Supplied Credit: CarExpert However, the latest Corvette isn't just a relative bargain and it doesn't just out-power its closest competitors – it matches them for design, refinement, safety, technology and dynamics, with superb chassis balance, talkative steering, fantastic brakes and big rewards for drivers who dig deep into its broad skillset. The E-Ray in particular has an enormous performance envelope, and delivers so much acceleration, sound and X-factor so seamlessly and – so far – reliably that it's hard to believe it was created in the US and not Germany or Italy, as outlined below by my colleagues. 'Anybody who scoffs at the notion an American automaker can't compete in the supercar big league needs to get behind the wheel of Chevy's mid-engined C8 Corvette,' said CarExpert news editor William Stopford. 'Not only does this American supercar look the part, it offers the adroit handling and tremendous performance expected of such a vehicle. 'While the all-wheel drive hybrid E-Ray is my personal favourite, you can get a base Stingray for close to $100k less than the cheapest Porsche 911 and well under half the price of the cheapest Lamborghini or Ferrari. Try ignoring that.' Supplied Credit: CarExpert 'After driving the latest Chevrolet Corvette – particularly the E-Ray – it's hard to go past America's supercar in the luxury sports segment,' said marketplace editor James Wong. 'The stonking electrified V8 drivetrain is not only blisteringly quick, but it offers an old-school sound, track-happy handling and of course those classic supercar proportions make it look twice as expensive than it actually is. Even better, the available Carbon Revolution carbon-fibre wheels add a dash of Australia to an already desirable recipe.'
