Here at CAR, we don’t like to take manufacturers’ claims as read. We prefer to test new technology – sometimes to destruction. So we’ve sent our associate editor Tim Pollard to check out the latest gadgets and gizmos in our award-winning Does It Work? video series. 

Cue blindfolds, accidents with washing machines, swearing, shouting and occasional technophobia! Click on the video player below to watch our innovative short films where Tim tests the following technology:

Radar cruise control
Night vision systems
Voice recognition software
Runflat tyres
Waterproof keys
Cars that park themselves

We’ll be adding more videos over the coming months, so come back to CAR Online as we continue to probe the new technology car makers are keen to foist on new cars. But remember: as we find out, new isn’t necessarily best…

Don’t forget, if you’ve got any videos you’d like to share with the world you can publish them directly onto this website. (If you’re having problems viewing this video you may need to update to the latest version which you can do free here
