Greetings from the Motor City! Thank you for signing up for Reuters Auto File, a three-times a week roundup of the most important developments in the automotive, mobility and transportation technology sectors.
I am Joe White, and I have been writing about the global auto industry for more than 30 years. I have watched as Japanese and European automakers created a new American auto industry in the Southern United States, covered the revolution in manufacturing driven by Toyota and reported from China, as a nation that commuted on bicycles became the world’s largest auto market. Now, I am immersed in the biggest technology transformation since Henry Ford’s Model T, as Elon Musk leads the charge to electric and self-driving cars.
With so much change happening so rapidly, even industry insiders struggle to keep up with news from this sector. Reuters Auto File will cut through the noise and help readers manage the firehose of information. We don’t just dip in and out of auto industry coverage. My Reuters colleagues and I have long experience, deep contacts and global reach to assess the technology, public policy and financial pressures shaping how we will move around the world. Reuters Auto File will offer analysis of news during the week, and my original reporting on new products, new technology and market trends.
