Very glad to read that these charming individuals have been apprehended by the police.

Also, your next car will almost certainly have AI in it. But will it have AI in the design, too? It’s more likely than you think. Finally, a few thoughts on digital detoxing, which I'm very thoroughly enjoying while home. open.substack.com/pub/timstevens…

Toyota’s future city has some seriously dystopian early vibes, what with the cameras and the security guards and the empty streets, but there’s potential there for it to be something more significant down the road. Some more thoughts on that in my latest newsletter.

Hands-Off in Ginza: Nissan's AI Autonomy Impresses in JGinza and Shinbashi are some of my favorite areas of Tokyo to wander, but also some of the most miserable places to drive. All the more reason to let the car to the driving. open.substack.com/pub/timstevens…

Back in 2013, I was so fed up with Nokian’s studded tires that I swore I’d never buy another set. Here, in 2026, I’m blown away by the tech on display — and hidden within — the company’s latest model. More details in my latest newsletter.

I wasn't sure what to expect from Nokian's latest, but on dry roads they absolutely delivered a significant reduction in noise.

Listen, I understand the skepticism about in-wheel motors and unsprung mass and etc. etc. But after a day behind the wheel of this all-wheel drive pony car, I’m a believer that the potentials outweigh the drawbacks. open.substack.com/pub/timstevens…

My heart goes out to the teams at Sony Honda Mobility, but it's hard to say we couldn't see this coming. I break down the myriad factors that led to this cancelation and give some thoughts on what made a Sony car such a challenging prospect in the first place.

From @iRacing to IRL, join me for a spin in the new Porsche 911 Cup. It's over at @arstechnica #comments" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">arstechnica.com/cars/2026/03/f…

Honda Killed the Wrong Cars This Week open.substack.com/pub/timstevens…

What's it like to slide a priceless prototype EV across a lake? And can the extra 1,000 pounds Audi's new RS5 gained really be worth it? That and plenty more in my latest newsletter. open.substack.com/pub/timstevens…

We are lucky to have two "World's Largest" arcades in the United States. Which is truly the largest? The answer may surprise you... because it doesn't matter. They're both amazing. Had an absolute blast investigating this piece for @arstechnica arstechnica.com/gaming/2026/03…

You can read my first impressions from behind the wheel of a prototype i3 in Sweden at these fine establishments: edmunds.com/car-news/2027-… engadget.com/transportation… bimmerlife.com/2026/03/05/202…

The BMW i3 is more than an electrified 3 Series. It's the next step in BMW's rollout of its next-gen EV platform, and a huge step forward for vehicle control dynamics. It's also a proper hoot on the ice.

I am sadly unable to tell you a damned thing about what it's like for another few days yet, so you'll just have to use your imagination for now on how this 630hp PHEV drives. Stay tuned...

Greetings from Marrakesh, where I've just spent a few days behind the wheel of Audi's new RS5, which pairs a 2.9-liter V6 with a pair of turbos and a pair of electric motors.
