I asked 10 historians to nominate the 'worst' year in history — here are their picks
Terror attacks, Zika, Brexit, police shootings, Syria, Trump, record-hot temperatures, the losses of Prince and David Bowie—this has been one unrelenting turn around the calendar.

The question of how to determine a “worst year” in history piqued my interest. So I decided to ask a group of historians to nominate

This is the most annoying and possibly dangerous thing about new cars
We've started to notice a theme in many of the new cars and trucks, including SUVs, that we test out here at Business Insider on our Transportation team: confusing automatic-transmission shifters. We're not talking about stick shifts here; those are still, mercifully, relatively straightforward. But the good old park-reverse-neutral-drive setups of old, when you simply moved a shifter up and down, have given way to more elaborate systems.

But when the shifter is modified to be more of a joystick-type interface, it doesn't always make sense and requires practice to sort out. Sometimes it doesn't get sorted out,

Apparently it looked into getting acquired by a big public company, but those talks seem to have fizzled out as well. It said: "We were in deep discussions to be acquired by a prominent public company, but ultimately the partnership did not come to fruition. We are humbled to have had such loyal customers and are extremely proud of the impact we made on the home furnishings market, but ultimately we were unable to find backers
