We’ve slowly been ramping up our car coverage here at BGR and I have to say, I couldn’t be happier about it. Reviewing smartphones is great, but it’s not quite the same as spending a week in a $100,000 luxury coupe. We’ve got plenty more planned — including an exciting look next month at a …

Uber’s self-driving car has been touted as the thing that’s going to eventually take the ride-sharing company out of the red and into the cheap, ubiquitous mass-transit future that it’s been promising.
