Some members of the Car Wars Discord are in contact with the company working on the game, but there hasn't been much news since FnordCon4, when they were still working on it.

I expect we'll hear more as the game moves closer to release.

Back in mid January I asked Burger Becky from Olde Skuul games who is working on the remake what the status was, and she said "Getting closer". That was it. I don't think there was any info at the last FnordCon but I was expecting some. Back in October she said "We hope to have screen shots in a few months. We have to coordinate with Steve Jackson Games."

Thanks for the reminder about who was working on the remake. . . Steve Jackson Games has pretty good quality control for its work, so I'd imagine they want a polished product before signing off on it.

They just need to listen to the feedback from the Ogre game and not make the UI obscure extremely important game-state information just because it makes the UI coding slightly easier.
