	This week in Car Tech Wayne Cunningham CNET.com The Camaro spectacle I've never been a Camaro fan, and didn't care much for the styling of the new Camaro when it came out.

From tech that helps you avoid a crash (like Bluetooth hands-free and rearview cameras) to tech that helps you survive one (crumple zones and airbags), automakers cram modern-day vehicles to the gills with safety features that we often take for granted.

I love the new first-person shooters that let me play co-op on them, and I would like to see a racing game do the same. What do you think? Would you like to team up with your online friends to beat a game like this or would you rather beat it all on your own?  Read more  The Frankfurt auto show approaches 1. Recharging the Trabant 2.
