I can’t believe it’s finally here. Today, The Drive officially returns to YouTube with the same mission: to celebrate the culture of cars. Feels even more vital these days, doesn’t it? But first, we've got some explaining to do.

Here's the Real Story of The Drive's YouTube Channel, and How We're Bringing It Back

The Drive's YouTube channel defined an era of car videos online before fading away. Here's what really happened, and how we're bringing it back.

Toyota has caught a LOT of shit for pushing hybrids over EVs. But the math shows they're right: to lower emissions fast, it'd be way more effective to spread our limited battery supply around full-hybrid lineups vs a relatively small number of full EVs.

Toyota Is Right: We Need More Hybrid Cars and Fewer EVs. Here's Why

The auto industry is going all-in on electric vehicles, but a better way to lower emissions quickly is staring us in the face: hybrids.

I asked the CEO of Michelin if the company wanted to get back into F1. He said they're not interested as long as F1 demands tires that "destroy themselves" during a race to amp up the drama.

when you include manufacturing-related emissions, big electric trucks aren't nearly as green as they seem, and in fact will be responsible for more life-cycle pollution than a smaller gas or hybrid vehicle. read here:

Greenwashed: Electric Pickup Trucks Are Dirtier Than You Think

The fact that electric trucks don't spew exhaust in residential areas is a plus. But sending pollution elsewhere isn't the same as eliminating it.

Grim: Ford has applied for a patent on an automatic vehicle repo system, where cars could lock you out or drive themselves away if you miss payments. Or worse, drive themselves to a junkyard for scrapping if the repo process would cost too much.

Ford Applies to Patent Self-Repossessing Cars That Can Drive Themselves Away

Ford's proposed system would allow your car to lock itself, disable certain features, and even drive itself autonomously to an impound lot.
