 Twenty-six years later, the Civic Type R has finally learned all the Integra Type R's tricks. It's the shifter. The visual connection is obvious - it's the same shift knob, and not by accident - but it goes deeper, all the way to transmission it actuates. More than any other single part, the shifter in the 2023 Honda Civic Type R is the most tangible physical and spiritual connection to the legendary Acura Integra Type R. This generation Civic Type R shares more conceptually with the Integra Type R than any Honda or Acura-badged sports coupe or sedan in the preceding 26 years. The way it drives, the way it behaves when pushed to its limit, and the way it makes the driver feel all channel the Integra in ways no other car quite has. Enough effusive ink has been poured out in tributes to the Integra Type R over the years you'd be forgiven for thinking this is just another work of Honda fanboy navel-gazing. As you can see from the photos, it's not. We're not lookin...

 The system will automatically switch the vehicle to Park mode if it detects that the rider isn’t wearing a helmet. While India is currently the largest market for two-wheelers, our country isn’t known to be at the forefront when it comes to rider safety. People riding without a helmet is not uncommon on our roads and in a bid to combat this, Ola Electric is working on a helmet detection system for its electric two-wheelers.  Ola’s helmet detection system uses a camera to detect whether the rider is wearing a helmet or not. It then sends this information to the Vehicle Control Unit (VCU is to an EV what an ECU is to an ICE vehicle) and then relayed to the Motor Control Unit which determines whether the vehicle will switch to Ride mode or not. If the vehicle is in Ride mode and the system detects that the rider is not wearing a helmet, the EV will automatically switch to Park mode. Once the vehicle is in Park mode, a notification will appear on the dash to remind the rider to w...
