Study: Voice-activated systems in cars raise the risk of accidents

The rules paved the way for inventions like the Bluetooth earpiece and voice-activated car systems. While these technologies have transformed the way drivers communicate, they can still make some more prone to accidents. A recent study reveals voice-activated car systems that car makers so dearly promote as a “smarter way to interact” are turning out to be a major cause of distraction while on the road.

Decades of James Bond's cars hit the streets of Paris

From the Sunbeam Alpine in the 1962 "Dr. No" to this year's Aston Martin, the cars paraded down the Champs Elysees on Sunday after arraying in front of the Arc de Triomphe.

Minus the submarine car from "The Spy Who Loved Me," the display comes before the release of "Spectre" this fall and includes the Aston Martin DB10 created for the film, which features in a chase scene through the streets of Rome.

The film will be released on Nov. 6 in the U.S. and Oct. 26 in Britain.
