Called ProPilot Assist, this technology will help drivers maintain lane control, navigate stop and go traffic, maintain set vehicle speed, and maintain a set distance from other vehicles in front. Buyers can spec this option on the 2018 Nissan Rogue SL Platinum Package.

Volvo’s spin-off brand Polestar announced the Polestar 1 which promises 600 horsepower, 738 lb-ft of torque and over 93 miles of pure electric range. However, you can’t actually buy one. Polestar will be delivering the Polestar 1 on a subscription-only basis. Effectively, this is a lease of the car, plus some amenities such as concierge service, equipment rentals and even day to day vehicle swaps if you find yourself in need of something with a little extra room.
