The future of mobility and transportation is rapidly evolving. Automakers are beginning to resemble tech companies and tech companies are increasingly becoming their suppliers. The focus of vehicle safety has shifted from crashworthiness to crash-avoidance. Environmental considerations have evolved from a dependence on foreign oil and regulating tailpipe emissions to tackling climate change and making electric powertrains mainstream. Ride-hailing services have changed how people move in urban areas, and the wide-scale adoption of autonomous vehicles is just around the corner.
“Auto manufacturing has always been a dynamic industry, but it is perhaps undergoing more rapid transformations today than at any point since Henry Ford invented the assembly line.”
With longstanding relationships throughout the industry – from manufacturers and autoworkers, to their parts suppliers and dealers, to consumer advocates and the agencies and Congressional committees that regulate transportation – we understand the auto industry and can provide advice and counsel to prepare for the future of mobility.
