Autosavant Au·to·sa·vant /ˈɔtoʊˈsæˈvɑnt/ noun. a person of profound or extensive learning pertaining You'll note the word "idiot" does not precede "savant."

Just what is an "Autosavant?" Just like the definition above says, we're people who have been exposed to cars and the car business for decades, and we love having the opportunity to share some of those experiences with our readers. Thanks to Rain Man, the two words are often used together, but we're different kinds of savants. We love cars and the car business, no matter where that takes us - Uni

ted States, Japan, Germany, France, China, Brazil, Australia, India, the U.K., etc. - and we provide both opinion and information. We currently have writers in Singapore and in the U.S. Because most of us live here, we focus on the United States, but we want our readers to have the benefit of seeing a global picture regarding automotive products and industry. We hope you enjoy the site.

To elaborate on an earlier question about rear visibility in the 2015 Nissan Murano- you can see that visibility isn't great, with a prominent D-pillar and smallish rear window. It really does necessitate relying on the Around View Monitor. The photos are taken with the vehicle in the same location, to compare the view through windows with what's shown by the cameras.
