The company behind the Rally Fighter and the 3D-printed car has created an autonomous electric vehicle designed for clean, convenient transit.

Local Motors is best known for creating the world's first 3D-printed car. As the company prepares to sell those cars to the public for the first time, it's come up with an unusual proposition for potential customers.

Domino's Pizza wants to make sure your next delivery is perfect by rolling out a fleet of customized 2015 Chevy Sparks with warming ovens in them. Called the Domino's Delivery Expert, the interior is also tailored to bring the perfect pie.

The first time many Americans ride in a self-driving car, it probably won't be in a vehicle they own. It will be in one they hail with an app.

In a world's first event, Local Motors is 3D printing an entire car at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. By the end of the week, the company promises that the car, known as the Strati, will be driven on a test track at Cobo Hall in Detroit.

Last month we reported that Local Motors was working on a new sports car project. Now the grass-roots automaker has released this video detailing how the project will take shape. (In fact the video even features our earlier report, if you watch closely at the 32-second mark.)
