The three major American car manufacturers are Ford, General Motors (GM), and Stellantis (which houses the historic American brands Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram). While Tesla is a relative newcomer, its impact on the automotive industry makes it a quintessential modern American brand. Beyond these, several iconic names like Lincoln (Ford's luxury division) and Cadillac (GM's luxury division) are also pillars of the American auto industry.

The landscape has evolved significantly. Ford is renowned for its best-selling F-Series trucks and the Mustang. General Motors operates a portfolio of brands including Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, and Buick. The formation of Stellantis in 2021 merged Fiat Chrysler Automobiles with France's PSA Group, but the American brands within it continue to design and build vehicles primarily for the North American market.

A major shift across all these companies is the aggressive push into electric vehicles (EVs). Ford has the Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning, GM is launching models on its Ultium platform like the Cadillac Lyriq, and Tesla continues to dominate the EV sales charts. This table highlights the core American brands and their current focus.

Why is there no Subject 4 in the Traffic Management 12123 app?

Because Subject 4 is actually the safety and civilized driving knowledge test of Subject 3, which is why there is no Subject 4 in the 12123 app. Below are the relevant explanations: Introduction to Subject 3: Subject 3, which includes the road driving skills test and the safety and civilized driving knowledge test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviated term for the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test in the motor vehicle driver's examination. The content of the road driving skills test varies depending on the type of driving license. Introduction to Subject 4: Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The Subject 3 examination is divided into two parts: besides the road test, there is an additional safety and civilized driving knowledge test, commonly referred to as Subject 4, which assesses driving ethics. Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly called the Subject 4 test. However, officially, there is no such term as Subject 4.

What is the correct position for the front wheels to stop in hill-start parking?

The optimal stopping distance for the front wheels is between line 2 (the pole line) and line 3 (the front bumper line). Parking is permitted within this range. Start the vehicle and drive smoothly onto the slope. The right wheel of the car should not exceed 30cm from the warning line. Pay attention to the following points: 1. Visual reference deviation: Each person's habits, height, and weight are different, so the reference points they use will also vary. 2. Adjusting position: Adjust the seat forward or backward to the most comfortable position. 3. Observe by getting off: Continuously get off the car to observe and slowly drive the car to the hill-start parking spot for the most accurate positioning. 4. Sit upright: When in the car, sit upright and memorize the corresponding point of the reference pole on the vehicle at this moment. This point is truly yours. 5. Watch by getting off: Every time you practice parking on the slope, always get off to observe. (Don't always sit in the car, just looking down and not watching the road, otherwise no matter how much you practice, it won't help.)

What is the actual height of a 2-meter height limit on highways?

Highway height limits marked as 2 meters are actually a safe clearance height, with the actual height being around 2.2 meters. Therefore, slightly taller vehicles may barely pass, but this is not recommended as getting caught by traffic cameras will result in fines and penalty points. Typically, small balls are suspended from height limit gantries as safety warnings—if a vehicle touches these balls, it cannot pass. The purpose of setting height limit barriers is often due to bridges, tunnels, or underpasses ahead. More details are as follows: 1. A 2-meter height limit is only a safety clearance: Height limit barriers are commonly seen at highway entrances and exits, usually marked with the height limit (e.g., 2 meters). According to relevant data, the 2-meter limit is a safety clearance, with the actual highway height slightly higher, generally around 2.2 meters. 2. Height limit standards vary by road type: For first- and second-class highways, the clearance height of barriers should be 5 meters; for third- and fourth-class highways, it should be 4.5 meters. The primary purpose of height limit barriers is to ensure the safety of drivers and infrastructure.

Why does 12123 show a transferred vehicle?

12123 may display a transferred vehicle due to software update delays. Simply wait a few days until the system update is complete, and it will return to normal. Vehicle transfer refers to changing the ownership name of a vehicle. Completing the transfer process legally ensures the transfer of vehicle ownership and guarantees the legality of the vehicle's origin. Documents required for vehicle transfer: Original owner's ID card, new owner's ID card, original and duplicate vehicle license, purchase tax certificate, proof of paid vehicle and vessel tax, vehicle registration certificate, vehicle inspection report from criminal investigation department, and insurance policy (all original documents required). Vehicle transfer process: 1. Issue a transaction invoice and pay the used car transaction tax (1% for private owners, 4% for corporate owners). 2. Vehicle inspection: Drive the vehicle to the inspection site for external inspection, tracing the VIN, removing license plates, and taking photos. Attach the vehicle photo to the inspection record form. 3. Enter the transfer hall to complete filing procedures. 4. License plate selection: Take a number from the dispenser and queue with relevant materials to pay transfer fees. 5. Transfer-out procedure: Required materials include the Application Form for Vehicle Registration/Transfer/Cancellation, Transfer-in Application Form, Inspection Record Form, original vehicle title certificate, original license, original owner's ID card, original license plate number, vehicle photo, and transfer invoice from the trading market.

Is It Safe to Sit in a Car During a Thunderstorm?

It is safe to stay in the car during a thunderstorm. The reasons are explained in detail below: 1. The principle used for lightning protection is equipotential bonding: This means connecting metal objects with wires or other metal objects. When a high-voltage lightning strike occurs, the potential of the metal objects becomes approximately equal, preventing the formation of a potential difference and thus no current flows. 2. It is very safe to be in the car during a thunderstorm: Because the metal shell of the car forms an equipotential surface, the potential of the people inside the car and the car itself is roughly equal. When lightning occurs, no current will be conducted to the people inside the car. Therefore, it is safe to be inside the car during a thunderstorm. 3. The car is a metal object: However, its enclosed structure makes it a 'Faraday cage.' The wet tires serve as the key component connecting the car body to the ground for conduction. Even if the car is struck by lightning, the current can pass through the car's outer shell and tires to the ground, causing no harm to the occupants inside.

What Are the Reasons for the Car Radar Not Beeping?

The reasons for the reversing radar not beeping are as follows: 1. The reversing radar switch is turned off: Most cars have a control switch for the reversing radar on the central control panel inside the vehicle. If it is turned off, the reversing radar will not work. Solution: Turn on the reversing radar switch. 2. Reversing radar circuit failure: When the reversing radar circuit ages or breaks, the reversing radar will not function properly. 3. Check if there is current in the main unit's power line: When you find that the reversing radar is not beeping, first check if the main unit's power line is properly connected and if there is current; then check if the radar main unit line is loose. If neither of these is the issue, the problem may lie with the radar itself. 4. Buzzer damage: If the problem is confirmed to be with the reversing radar, the first possibility to consider is that the buzzer is damaged. In this case, you need to purchase a new buzzer and install it; additionally, recall if your car has undergone any recent modifications. If so, it is possible that the reversing radar circuit was damaged during the modification process, and you will need to take the car to a repair shop or 4S store for inspection. 5. Check if the circuit connection at the bumper is intact: When you find that the reversing radar is not beeping, you can also check if the circuit connection at the bumper is intact, then check if the reversing light turns on when you shift into reverse. If it doesn't, check if the reversing light's connection switch is damaged. Also, check if the computer displays any fault codes. If none of these issues are present, inspect the reversing radar itself for any problems.
