New Honda Design Video: How the Latest VR Technology Is Accelerating the Design Process of Honda EVs. A new video offers a first-ever look at the Honda VR Design Studios in Los Angeles, revealing how Honda is leveraging advanced virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality technology to fast track the development of new Honda vehicles. VR has quickly become a critical tool for Honda designers in the development of future mobility products, including electric vehicles (EVs), and Honda continues to expand use of these tools in L.A. and Japan. The 2024 Honda Prologue full electric SUV was the first Honda model designed primarily through virtual reality visualization technology, which was critical in overcoming collaboration and efficiency challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Spring, also referred to as pothole season, can be tough on vehicles. The fluctuating temperatures and freeze and thaw pattern from melting snow and ice seep into cracks in the pavement creating potholes of all sizes. Hitting a pothole can ruin car tires and throw off the wheel alignment. If your vehicle is traveling fast and/or the pothole is deep, the impact could damage the suspension, destroy the shocks/struts, demolish bumper, bend the axle, wreck the muffler or damage the frame. If you hit a pole or seven, give us a call to inspect your vehicle and reset alignment if needed.
