Predictive vehicle technology using AI and machine learning will play an integral role in the future of the motor industry as predictive capacity is becoming more predominant in cars to customise the driving adventure.

The Mitsubishi Mirage, which was also known as the Colt up to the fifth generation, was first released in 1978 as a hatchback version of the Lancer sedan and wagon.

The Maxus G10 is gradually being introduced worldwide and has already started selling well in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Australia.

Many modern innovations in car safety are not merely aimed at making the vehicle’s owner look cool and tech savvy…

At the Wheel

The small Jimny SUV introduced Suzuki to the world of four-wheel drives way back in the 1970s and again in the early ’80s. And while its Series III didn’t bask in the same glory, all signs point to Series IV being a winner yet again.

After Suzuki acquired the Hope Motor Company in the late 1960s, it decided to introduce a capable off-road Kei car – ‘Kei car’ is a term used in Japan for micro motorcars that attracted government incentives such as lower taxes based on smaller sizes and emissions. The Suzuki LJ (Light Jeep) 10 was introduced in 1970; and for all intents and purposes, it was Japan’s first Kei 4WD.

Zimbabwe Tour

Sri Lanka’s tour of Zimbabwe, which should have been a bre—-eze, caught the attention of almost everybody… for all the wrong reasons. Though the cri-cket played and opponents encountered weren’t great, one felt the team and especially the chairman of the selectors copped plenty of criticism for the manner in which Sri Lanka played – especially in the second Test despite a brave fight back and a creditable draw.

T20 Debacle

Another tour, another disaster and this time it was with India. Sri Lanka hasn’t been able to defeat India in a series for a very long time. Let’s call a spade a spade and accept that the Sri Lankans seem to have forgotten how to win. More importantly, our teams over the last five or so years seem to have forgotten what cricket and unity mean.

Comparing today’s car manufacturing industry with computers is like contrasting two different generations of technology. We’ve got super-fast smartphones and iPods streaming the coolest music in our pockets but have satellite radio and clunky GPS devices attached to our dashboards. Carmakers are aware that they’re somewhat behind the times and many are promising that by 2021, dashboard and safety systems as sophisticated as iPads will be available to drivers.
