USMCA '26 Review: Mexico’s Automotive Future and the China Factor STORY INLINE POST Mexico’s automotive industry, long a pillar of its manufacturing economy, is entering a decisive phase as the United States, Canada, and Mexico prepare for the 2026 review of the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement. What was once a seamless North American production platform under the North American Free Trade Agreement is now being reshaped by geopolitical tensions, stricter trade rules, and the rising presence of Chinese automakers. The outcome could redefine not only how cars are built in Mexico, but also who builds them, and for which markets. For decades, Mexico has been a global automotive powerhouse. Assembly plants across the country produce millions of vehicles annually, with the vast majority exported to the United States. This success has been built on a tightly integrated North American supply chain, where parts cross borders multiple times before a car reaches the showroom. That model is now under strain. The transition from NAFTA to USMCA introduced stricter rules designed to ensure more production stays within North America. Vehicles must now meet higher regional content requirements (75% compared to 62.5% under NAFTA) and comply with new labor and wage standards. These changes were intended to bring manufacturing back to the United States. Instead, they have triggered a complex recalibration across the region, one that is increasingly putting Mexico in the middle of a geopolitical balancing act. Although officially described as a “review,” the upcoming 2026 evaluation of USMCA is widely expected to function as a renegotiation. Washington is signaling interest in tightening enforcement of rules of origin and further reducing reliance on non-North American inputs, particularly those coming from China. For Mexico, this presents both risk and opportunity. On the one hand, stricter rules could increase production costs and limit the flexibility

MASPETH, Queens (WABC) -- Days after nearly 100 cars took over an intersection in Queens, officers with the NYPD have released new pictures of the suspects they are looking for. The drivers took over an intersection in Maspeth, Queens over the weekend, blocking traffic and performing dangerous stunts around a ring of fire in the street. Police say eight people in total are responsible for creating the chaos over the weekend. They say it wasn't only disorderly, it was dangerous. Some neighbors were outraged that their intersection at 69th Street and Elliott Avenue saw open flames so close to two gas stations. Moustafa Dawod works at the BP gas station nearby. "It's kind of crazy to light a fire circle in the middle of two gas stations," Dawod said. "It's just stupid and also it looked like they were trying to throw bottles or something with liquid in it which is dangerous." Officers said they arrived within minutes to break up the dangerous scene. At one point, two men jumped onto the hood of a marked NYPD vehicle, causing damage and cracking the windshield. Luckily, no one was hurt. New York City Council member Phil Wong, who represents the district, says he will meet with Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch on Tuesday. "We never had enough police officers so when I meet with the commissioner tomorrow I will make that request," Wong said. "We need more police officers and patrol cars." Officials are asking if anyone recognizes any of the eight suspects to call police. ---------- * Download the abc7NY app for breaking news alerts * Download our connected TV app Have a breaking news tip or an idea for a story we should cover?

Mercedes-Benz unveiled the all-new electric C-Class on Monday, presenting what it described as the most ambitious reinvention of the model in its history. The car, designated the C 400 4MATIC Electric, is powered entirely by a battery and will go on sale in the United States in the first half of 2027. Its arrival marks a defining moment not only for Mercedes but for the broader premium midsize segment — a market still dominated by internal combustion competitors that have been slow to embrace full electrification. “The all-new electric C-Class is redefining the mid-size segment for electric vehicles,” said Ola Källenius, the company’s chief executive, in a statement. He described it as “the most powerful and sportiest C-Class we’ve ever built.” That is a notable claim for a model whose reputation has long rested more on refined comfort than outright performance. But the numbers behind it are hard to dismiss. Range, Power and a Ten-Minute Promise The new C-Class launches with a single powertrain configuration — a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup producing 482 horsepower, capable of accelerating from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds. Those figures put it squarely in the territory of dedicated performance sedans, a segment Mercedes has traditionally addressed with its AMG division rather than a base model. On range, the company is equally aggressive. The new C-Class carries a 94-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery and, under the European WLTP testing cycle, is rated at up to 762 kilometers — roughly 473 miles. Real-world range figures in the United States, measured under the EPA’s more conservative methodology, will almost certainly come in lower, but even a significant discount would place the car well above the current midsize electric field. More striking is the car’s charging capability. Using 800-volt DC fast-charging infrastructure — the same high-voltage architecture found

It's not really a surprise that your vehicle is tracking you. Connected cars collect your exact location, your driving speeds, and plenty of other data about you. But once that data is sent to the manufacturer via the cloud, it's safe from prying hands, right? A new teardown of a vehicle's computer shows that's not the case. Your car stores that data, in some cases forever. Santa Claus Has Nothing On Your Car's Tracking Connected cars have been controversial since they first launched. If the car knows where you are, then the company knows where you are. If the company knows, then both good and bad actors can find it. Because of that danger, some countries have regulations that cover how it should be secured. The EU even has rules that demand updates over-the-air to try and help fix any security vulnerabilities that get uncovered. But it's not enough. Romain Marchand with cybersecurity consultants Quarkslab wanted to find out if they could get location data directly from a vehicle. Marchand then used that data along with open source intelligence to find shocking amounts of information. Marchand started with a Telematics Control Unit (TCU) from a BYD Seal. He picked the BYD because "some Chinese vehicles have raised security concerns; for instance, Poland has banned certain models from its military bases." The US has also implemented a ban on Chinese connected vehicle tech, though we don't have any reason to think cars from any other country are better in this way. He got a TCU from a scrapped BYD Seal and then tore it down to the bare chips. Using a custom-made adapter, Marchand and team were able to dump the contents of the TCU's memory chip. We would have expected this to be encrypted, but the paper describes it as

‘Manipulate’: The growing car safety risk no one’s talking about While modern cars offer unparalleled convenience, some experts warn that they can be used to facilitate serious crimes. Modern internet-connected cars have undoubtedly revolutionised transport, largely in part due to the convenience of advanced technological features such as live GPS tracking and external cameras. And while these tools can make driving easier for owners, some experts have raised concerns about the car’s ability to harvest and store private information. There is also a growing concern the technology is being used by perpetrators of domestic and family violence. According to eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant, its technology-facilitated abuse support services have flagged a growing risk of perpetrators using these cars to commit crimes. “We've been receiving a growing number of enquiries from frontline workers with concerns around smart cars that are weaponised against victim-survivors and their children,” she told Drive. In an April 2026 Drive report, Simon Smith, a cybercrime forensics expert, said that modern connected cars can collect sensitive private driver data. “Modern connected vehicles collect far more than most drivers realise, and GPS is only a small part of it. Many infotainment systems will also ingest contacts, call logs, and message metadata the moment a phone is paired,” he explained. “The real concern is the creation of a highly detailed behavioural fingerprint – where they go, how they drive, who they interact with, and at what times,” Smith explained. 'Manipulate a victim's movements' In a December 2025 Parliament House press conference, Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Commissioner Micaela Cronin confirmed the severity of technologically facilitated domestic abuse offences.

Your car might know more about you than your partner—What data are cars collecting? Modern cars track far more than driving habits, quietly gathering personal data most drivers never realize they’re sharing. You likely see your car as a simple way to get from one place to another, built for convenience and reliability. But modern vehicles are far more than transportation. They are connected devices that continuously collect and transmit data every time you drive. From your routes and driving behavior to in-car preferences and even smartphone activity, today’s cars can quietly build a detailed profile of your habits, often without you ever realizing it. What data are cars collecting? Today's modern cars are collecting far more information than most people realize. New vehicles effectively operate as smartphones on wheels. They can monitor your driving behavior, including acceleration, braking, steering, speed, and more. Some models also record which in-car settings and preferences you use, and even store locations you’ve saved, which can reveal your regular routes and destinations. In addition, the data collected is not limited only to “vehicle performance”. Depending on the vehicle's make and model, data collection may include external camera or sensor images, your personal identifiers such as name or contact info, and other profile information. It does not mean that all the data is transferred straight to the manufacturer, and not all of it is readable by humans. This also does not mean anyone at a car manufacturer can check your data. It is usually stored in bulk without a direct link to an individual, and depending on the brand and model, some personal information may be stored only in the vehicle. According to research, cars are “the worst product category for privacy” because they collect more personal data than necessary and often do so without

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said the 21-year-old D4vd, whose legal name is David Burke, was charged with first-degree murder in the killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. She was reported missing by her family in 2024, when she was 13. Authorities, who described her Monday as a "runaway," said she was 14 when she was killed. The murder charges included special circumstances — lying in wait, committing crime for financial gain and murdering the witness in an investigation — that could carry the death penalty. Prosecutors haven't announced whether they will seek it. Burke is also charged with lewd and lascivious acts with a person under 14 and mutilating a body. Attorneys for the Houston-born alt-pop singer said he was innocent in a statement released after homicide detectives arrested him on Thursday at a home in Hollywood. "Let us be clear — the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death," the lawyers said. A new request for comment to Burke's lawyers on the charges was not immediately answered.

Detroit auto shop turns classic Caprices into high-powered donk cars - To be considered a donk, a car must be a customized 1971 to 1976 Chevrolet Impala or Caprice. - Brandon Pypkowski likes to load his donk creations up with aftermarket parts and engines that deliver lots of horsepower. Brandon Pypkowski knows not everyone likes donks, but he’s partial to these particular cars. That’s why the Detroit man builds them at his garage, Well Connected Customs, on Gratiot Avenue, north of downtown near the Faygo plant. On a recent afternoon as he sat near a few of his creations, Pypkowski attributed any dislike of the big-wheeled car's style to a misunderstanding. Donks aren’t just any cars with big wheels, he said. They’re specifically customized 1971-1976 model year Chevrolet Caprices and Impalas. They were full-sized, affordable family cars in their day, and lots of people have told Pypkowski, 39, they remember their families had them growing up. But now, Pypkowski builds them to stand out. “They’re not hot rods, but we turn them into hot rods. They have a lot of characteristics of Chevelles, your Camaros, your Corvettes, as far as suspension and engine goes, but they have the ride of a Cadillac,” he said. “You see a big old car like this that somebody’s grandma would drive to the grocery store and pick up her groceries, but it’s got a 1,200-horsepower motor and it don’t look like it.” A few cars come to Pypkowski in good enough condition that they will keep a lot of what they had originally, with key upgrades. Others will be almost completely remade. Pypkowski works with his customers to develop a plan for what the build will become. Then the work gets underway. “I build a cart and take the frame from under the car
