Garner said that he and his team expect the used market to continue to be mostly healthy in 2020, but he does predict a slight downturn compared to 2019.

Inside Documents Show How Amazon Chose Speed Over Safety in Building Its Delivery Network

ProPublica

In just a few years, Amazon has built a delivery system that has disrupted a decades-old business dominated by FedEx and United Parcel Service.

VW’s Robots and ‘Battery Wagons’ Could Turn Every Garage Parking Space Into An EV Charging Station

The process begins with the driver starting the service using an app that communicates to the robot the position of the vehicle.

The robot hitches itself to one of the multiple available “battery wagons,” and navigates autonomously to the vehicle’s parking space. Using V2X communication, the robot can open the vehicle’s charging port, and connect the battery to the socket. The robot can return to its station while the vehicle is being charged and position batteries to other autos in the garage.

Dodge Ram Beats Chevy Silverado For First Time

Detroit Free Press

The pickup war escalated Friday when General Motors and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles reported fourth-quarter and year-end sales and, for the first time, the Ram pickup has outsold the Chevrolet Silverado for the year — by 10.1%.

"This is really quite a shake-up and it's uncharted territory for the Ram because it's never been No. 2," just behind the best-selling Ford F-150, said Jeremy Acevedo, an analyst at Edmunds in Santa Monica, California.
