However, CEO Mary Barra confirmed that the company remained committed to all-electric vehicles and is even building a new battery-cell development center in Warren, Michigan.

IIHS is looking for something to justify itself in an age when at the very least it should be shrinking in size.
  • Tassos I have not seen any serious road rage incidents in MI, but I saw some in other states. I remember driving in Boston again, decades ago, and saw a Corvette driver mad at the taxi in front of him get out of his car and kick the driver's door of the taxi with his foot.
  • Carson D I haven't experienced any road rage incidents at all ever since I learned how to apply a PIT maneuver.
  • Lou_BC I was on a 4 lane highway this summer. Speed limit 100 kph. I was going 110 kph passing a small SUV. I look in my mirror and a F150 is so close on me I can't see his grill. I keep at the speed I'm going. I pass the small SUV. I was going to move over to let him by but the moment there was space he swerved into that lane. He pulled up beside me and started moving over. I kept the same speed. I did not budge. He then floors it and tries to cut me off. ....... ......... ......... What was odd about this was the year before in the same place, a fellow in a Chevy pulling a side by side on a trailer did slmost the same thing. He swerved to pass but almost lost control because his trailer started to wobble.
