2015 Ford Mustang-themed pinball machine combines two of America’s classic passions

By Trevor Dermody Published February 4, 2014

Stern Pinball Company has released a commemorative game to celebrate two classic American loves: The Ford Mustang and the pinball machine.

The newly released pinball machine – called the Mustang Pro – celebrates fifty years of America’s pony car. It also allows players to immerse themselves in the rich history of the Mustang, highlighting muscle car heartthrobs from the timeless GTs to the delightfully powerful Boss editions, as well as the new 2015 Mustang.

While I’ve never been a huge pinball junkie, pinball is something that is enjoyed by almost every American, like apple pie or football. It’s just in our blood.

So what’s so special about this pinball machine other than some Mustang stickers? The commemorative Mustang game allows for a multitude of different game scenarios from drifting, police pursuits, rallies and drag races as well as a gear shift multiball mode. The machine also allows for four different tunes to play while enjoying the game as well as voice-overs by Tanner Foust.

It seems with the anniversaries of classic American pony cars, Americans everywhere are looking to bring back the past but put a modern spin on old favorites. And why shouldn’t they? Everyone knows after a long day of work and a long commute home in your classic American car, there is nothing better than unwinding with some good old-fashioned arcade games, certainly to be enjoyed with a glass bottle Coca-Cola.

Your Volvo may soon get Apple Music without needing CarPlay

Interior view of the 2024 Volvo EX90.

The line between your smartphone and your car continues to blur. Volvo has announced that it is rolling out an over-the-air software update that brings Apple Music directly to the infotainment systems of more than 2 million vehicles worldwide. Instead of relying on Apple CarPlay or plugging in an iPhone, eligible drivers will be able to stream music natively from their car's built-in system, making Apple Music another integrated feature of Volvo's software experience.

The update is arriving for a wide range of Volvo models, including the EX90, ES90, XC90, S90, V90, XC60, S60, V60, XC40, EX40 and EC40, covering model year 2020 onwards. Availability, however, may vary depending on the vehicle.

A new AI model wants self-driving cars to think before they swerve

Forget guessing games, this self-driving AI actually shows its work.

Self driving car

Self-driving cars have gotten pretty good at driving. The harder problem is teaching them to drive safely in situations nobody planned for. We have heard horror stories of self-driving cars, behaving erratically in emergency situations, often times delaying first responders from reaching the scene.

A team at Seoul National University, led by professor Jun Won Choi from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, thinks they have cracked part of that puzzle with a new AI model called SafeDrive. The research was recently selected as a highlight paper at CVPR 2026, a distinction that goes only to roughly 3% of all submissions.
