While you’re busy preparing for another holiday season, don’t let car care take a back seat. Neglected auto care almost always means much higher costs down the road in the form of more extensive repairs or lost resale value. The non-profit Car Care Council recommends that you be car care aware to ensure your car doesn’t gobble up your hard-earned money.
“If you’re like most people, you’re busier than ever this time of year and may find yourself putting off vehicle maintenance,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “It’s important to remember that routine auto care means big savings by improving fuel economy, extending vehicle life and reducing the chance of costly car trouble.”
The Car Care Council suggests a quick vehicle check to help avoid the unplanned expense of a breakdown when traveling by car this holiday season.
Check the tires, including tire pressure and tread. Uneven wear indicates a need for wheel alignment. Tires should also be checked for bulges and bald spots. Check all fluids, including engine oil, power steering and brake and transmission, as well as windshield washer solvent and antifreeze/coolant. Check the hoses and belts that can become cracked, brittle, frayed, loose or show signs of excessive wear. These are critical to the proper functioning of the electrical system, air conditioning, power steering and the cooling system. Check lighting to identify any problems with exterior and interior lighting, as the chance of an accident increases if you can’t see or be seen. Check wipers. Wiper blades should be replaced every six months. Make sure the windshield wipers are working properly and keep the reservoir filled with solvent. The Car Care Council also recommends that motorists restock their emergency kit. To save on fuel costs during the trip, the council suggests that motorists avoid aggressive driving, observe the speed limit and avoid excessive idling. Gas caps that are damaged, loose or missing should be replaced to prevent gas from spilling or evaporating.
The Car Care Council’s free personalized schedule and email reminder service is a simple way to help you take better care of your vehicle this holiday season and throughout the year. It is an easy-to-use resource designed to help you drive smart, save money and make informed decisions.
The Car Care Council is the source of information for the “Be Car Care Aware” consumer education campaign promoting the benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance and repair to consumers.

Chongqing Feilong Jiangli collects the latest information for you, so that you can get the most cutting-edge technical information. With the development of autopilot technology in the direction of wider application, it has made a lot of progress in imaging. However, a technical challenge associated with improving safety is the ability of a self driving vehicle to not have a strong ability to observe the surrounding corners.
Imaging and sensing are the key technologies of automatic driving, and also the key areas of 3D laser scanning system, such as lidar (optical detection and ranging). Such a system allows automatic driving vehicles to detect and avoid obstacles by using rotating laser beams to drive safely. However, the current imaging technology needs to be improved in order to improve the performance of the self driving vehicle. According to foreign media reports, researchers at Boston University have conducted a study to develop a new method that allows artificial intelligence components in autonomous driving vehicles to see the corners of vehicles around the University.
Researchers at Boston University have succeeded in making autonomous vehicles perceive the surrounding corners without using advanced optical devices. The technology is based on a standard digital camera and a special algorithm called "computational periscope".
It works like a toy periscope, a device consisting of two mirrors or prisms that allow people to see objects blocked by obstacles. Although the technology does not rely on mirroring, the principle is similar. The algorithm developed by Boston University uses the fact that light can be reflected from structures similar to walls in different modes to assess the degree of disorder created by different objects. The main task of the AI component is to interpret the scattered reflection image.

Recently, Chevrolet introduced a 2019 Silverado 1500 1:1 size Lego model, which is 72 inches high (about 1829mm), 240 inches long (about 6096mm), 96 inches wide (about 2438mm). It costed 18 people for more than 2,000 hours and was completed by hand picking and installing 334,544 LEGO. The most common building block is the 2X8 stud brick. At the end of the day, the Lego Silverado weighed 3,307 pounds (about 1,500 kg), and it was very surprising that there were work lights and very fine details in this model.

At the end of the day, the Lego Silverado weighed 3,307 pounds (about 1,500 kg), and it was very surprising that there were work lights and very fine details in this model.
Although it doesn't seem to make any sense, the Lego Silverado model means that Chevrolet will continue to work with Warner Bros. At the same time, a customized small Silverado High Country will continue to appear in the upcoming Lego Movie 2 on February 8 this year.
In reality, the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 was launched in July last year, with a price range of 29,795-54,495 US dollars. In terms of power, the 2019 Silverado is equipped with two modified 5.3L and 6.2L V8s engines and a 3.0L inline six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine.
Among them, the peak torque of the 5.3L V8 engine is 383N•m, and the peak torque of the 6.2L V8 engine is 460N•m. The data of the 3.0L L6 turbocharged engine has not been announced yet. In terms of gearbox, the 6.2L V8s engine and the new 3.0L inline 6-rigger engine match the 10-speed automatic transmission.
