The 2018 Silicon Valley Auto Show is speeding into town this week. Featuring some 300 new whips from more than 30 manufacturers, it promises to be a gearheads’ heaven. But this show isn’t just for high-octane car buffs—it’s a great place to check out more practical models, without having to stress about on-commission salesmen breathing down your neck. Kick the tires on a crossover, check under the hood of a hybrid and plug yourself into an electric vehicle. There will even be opportunities to test drive some cars. The show runs through Jan. 7.
