Technology is moving fast in 2025, and perhaps way too fast for us to catch up. A story out of New Jersey is a prime example of that, as we take a glimpse into the future of everyday driving. Here is how the journey begins. A New Jersey teenager used his father’s Tesla to take his road test. The examiner declared that the teen had allowed the car to perform parallel-parking manoeuvres, but the father insisted that he didn’t activate those features. Naturally, questions are being raised. Joining us to expand further on those concerns is Lorraine Sommerfeld, a Driving.ca columnist. Speaking of tech gadgets, are you concerned that Artificial Intelligence might take your job? What industries do you think are prime targets for A.I. inventions? Andrew Pinsent, filling in for Kristy Cameron, tackles today’s Question of the Day.

We dig deeper with Mark Seymour, who is the owner of Prescott-based Kriska Transportation Group.

You probably would, and this is what ductless mini-split HVAC systems offer, in addition to very effective cooling in the summer. It’s amazing how much this technology has progressed, but it still doesn’t make […]

Retailer Bath & Body Works is refuting a lawsuit filed by a woman who says she was severely burned by an exploding candle manufactured at a Canadian facility.
Renita Francois says she was lighting the candle from Bath & Body Works, with a scent called Sweater Weather, on Jan. 19, 2023 in her home on Long Island, New York. She leaned in to smell the candle when “a sudden explosion erupted from the glass container, propelling molten wax and flames outward in every direction,” according to the lawsuit obtained by National Post.
