RoboCop Is Already Policing Our Roads – How AI Judges Drivers

AI traffic cameras were just the beginning. Around the world, machines are now judging how you drive – and once the system decides, there’s no arguing back

Remember when getting pulled over went a bit like this… You’d clock the flashing lights, feel your stomach drop, rehearse your apology, and then hope – just hope – that the officer was having a good day. Maybe you’d get a telling-off. Maybe a warning. Maybe, if the stars aligned and Mercury was in retrograde, you’d get sent on your way with a “take it easy, mate”. Yeah, about that…

Driving Has Changed in 2026 – The New Rules You Need To Know About!

The New UK Rules That Quietly Caught Drivers Out and changes and revisions are rolled out

For years, the way driving laws changed in the UK followed a familiar pattern. Big announcements. Lots of noise. Plenty of time to prepare. 2026 feels different. This time, driving hasn’t changed with a bang. It’s changed with admin. With enforcement tweaks. With quiet rule changes that most drivers only notice once something goes wrong. And that’s the uncomfortable truth.

MG Cyberster GT Review – Detailed Daily Driver Review

Why This Electric Roadster Matters More Than You Think

I first drove the MG Cyberster earlier last year on a brief test at Millbrook Proving Ground. Enough to intrigue, enough to raise eyebrows, but not enough to truly understand it. This time, MG handed me the keys for a week. Living with a car exposes its truths. Its cleverness. Its quirks. Its brilliance. And occasionally, its foibles.

New Songs by BCG – Nowhere to Be & Apex Thrill

Sometimes driving isn’t about getting anywhere. It’s about feeling something. These two new tracks are for those moments when the road matters more than the destination.

There are drives we all remember that had no purpose whatsoever. No sat-nav. No timetable. Just fuel in the tank, music playing, and a road stretching out ahead. That feeling of freedom, flow, and quiet joy is hard to explain, but it’s exactly what I’ve been exploring with my latest music. These songs aren’t about cars as objects, but about driving as an experience. While I’ve had a hand in shaping the lyrics and direction, the final songs and visuals are AI-generated, using the technology as a creative collaborator.

BrownCarGuy December 2025 Round-Up

The month the car world quietly lost its nerve. December wasn’t about mince pies and nostalgia – it was about power, control, and where the future of driving is really heading

December usually winds the year down gently. Not this time. Instead, the car world spent the final weeks of 2025 quietly reshuffling the furniture, double-checking the locks, and pretending everything’s absolutely fine while the walls creaked. Deadlines moved. CEOs disappeared. Regulations softened. Tech firms flexed. Governments hedged. And drivers, once again, were told it was all “for their own good”.

Driverless Chaos, Insurance Mortgages & Other Car Predictions for 2026

Cars that drive themselves, insurance that costs more than the car, and progress that appears to have misplaced the steering wheel – welcome to 2026

The future has arrived. Not with a heroic fanfare or a cinematic fly-through of a gleaming metropolis, but more like a confused relative turning up late to Christmas dinner wearing mismatched socks and asking if anyone’s got the Wi-Fi password. Because the trouble with the future is this: it never arrives the way the sci-fi promised. There are no flying cars. No elegant solutions. No perfectly optimised utopia. Instead, we’ve been handed a series of half-finished ideas, each more complicated than the last, and told they’re all part of a journey.

2026 Is the Real Deadline: Why Cool Petrol Cars Are Dying Now (Not in 2030)

Everyone’s watching 2030, but it’s Euro 7, GSR2 and new rules that are quietly killing off cool petrol cars years earlier

For years now, motorists have been told the same soothing bedtime story: “Don’t worry. You’ve got until 2030.”

Plenty of time, apparently. Time to save. Time to decide. Time to enjoy one last glorious petrol-powered hurrah before the lights go out and the chargers take over. Except… that story is nonsense.

Toyota C-HR PHEV GR Sport (223bhp) Review: Everything You Need to Know Before Buying

The Toyota C-HR has grown up, plugged in and gone premium – but does the range-topper still have the spark that made the original so memorable?

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Toyota C-HR. When the original arrived, it felt like a small act of rebellion from a brand better known for playing things safe. It was sharp, angular, unapologetically different, and crucially, it didn’t try to hide its personality. Better still, in its early years you could even buy one with a petrol engine and a manual gearbox, complete with rev-matching. A crossover that actually wanted to be driven. That alone made it stand out.

AI, Cars and the Great Reality Wobble

How artificial intelligence is reshaping automotive design, marketing, media – and whether any of us know what’s real anymore

Everything looks real. Until it isn’t. Cars, content, even people are now being designed, edited and improved by artificial intelligence – and the automotive world may never look the same again. If you’ve found yourself squinting at your phone lately thinking “Hang on… is that real?”, congratulations. You are officially living in the age of artificial intelligence.

Not the flying-cars, robot-butlers kind. No. This is the more unsettling version. The one where cars are being designed by algorithms, photos are being “improved” beyond recognition, videos are faked convincingly enough to fool journalists, and voices can be cloned while their owners are fast asleep. Welcome to the great reality wobble.
