Stay Strong Jose!


Our lead lot technician, Jose Magana, was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Over the last few weeks, he has endured chemo treatments while working--what a champ! 

We're very appreciative of all of Jose's hard work and dedication. He is one of our Honda family's hardest workers, and we couldn't thank him enough.

We will be showing our support for Jose by wearing purple on Fridays. Purple is the awareness color for pancreatic cancer. To all of our Honda friends and family, let's be sure to show Jose our love in support during his battle against cancer. Stay strong, Jose!

Honda Begins Testing Self-Driving Cars


Today, Honda announced it has began testing technology to bring consumers a vehicle that drives itself. Testing is taking place in the Bay Area, and the automaker is joining Mercedes-Benz at the "GoMentum Station."

The station is a 5,000-acre facility that is a former military base. There are 20 miles of private paved roads and buildings, giving the feel of a natural environment.

We foresee a future where vehicles will be able to communicate with each other and understand the roads, which will give travel boosted safety.

While other automakers have permits to test their self-driving cars on public roads in California, Honda is not quite there. In the future, this is likely to come.

Stay tuned for more updates as Honda releases news.
