Electric car lovers and green activists need to take note of the Rinspeed Oasis, a self-driving concept car designed by German supplier and drive engineering company ZF and showcased at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, Tuesday. The Rinspeed Oasis comes with a garden integrated under the bonnet of the vehicle, making it the 'greenest' concept we've ever seen. The project is the result of a collaboration between ZF, which supplied the car's technological components, and the Swiss automotive industry think tank Rinspeed, which owns the idea around the Rinspeed Oasis. The concept car is not actually planned for manufacture, but was instead designed to inspire the auto industry.
If you're a baby boomer, chances are that you remember those far out times when love and peace were the words on everyone's tonge and the Volkswagen hippie van was the vehicle of choice. Well those days of nostalgia no longer have to be relegated to the distant past - Volkswagen has remade the iconic Type 2 Bus and shown it off at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on Monday . It's called BUZZ ID, and it's the first driverless all-electric micro bus that features front and rear wheel drive. ID BUZZ can travel up to 372 miles on a single charge. When the van is running in self-driving mode, the front seats turn around and the steering wheel retracts, creating an interior space for up to eight people. ID BUZZ is expected to hit the market in 2020.

On the morning of January 20, 2021, Donald Trump and Melania Trump will depart the White House as President and first lady. According to tradition and proper White House etiquette, the outgoing First Couple observes a number of protocols in the peaceful transition of power. But the Trumps have no intention of doing so. Rather than offering the hand of friendship, they will be raising their well-manicured middle fingers. CNN reports the Trumps have refused to invite the Bidens inside the White House before departing. Nor will they welcome the Bidens on the steps of the North Portico, much less ride with them to the United States Capitol. After all, the outgoing President and his family have refused to attend President-elect Biden's inauguration ceremony entirely.
