Episode 127: Inside CAR: Pioneering the Future of the Automotive Industry

#automotiveindustry #CAR #podcast In this special episode of the Automotive Leaders Podcast, host Jan Griffiths teams up with co-host Carl Anthony, Managing Director and co-founder of Automoblog and AutoVision News, for an in-depth conversation with Alan Amici, the President and CEO of the Center for Automotive Research (CAR). Since assuming the position at CAR almost two years ago, Alan says the organization has been very active and is making exciting developments to strengthen it further. "CAR's mission is to inform and advise with the goal of making the automotive industry more viable and sustainable," says Alan. He explains that CAR achieves this mission through a three-pronged approach: conducting research, hosting events, and fostering partnerships with private and public entities. Discussing the need for a cultural shift in the automotive industry to match its technological advancements, Alan points out the strategies employed by General Motors and Ford to attract new talent. He also underscores the industry's need for more diversity, particularly women in leadership roles, to improve decision-making and better cater to market demands. They stress that innovation thrives on speed and cannot survive in a culture of fear, which is a common issue in the auto industry. Alan reflects on how product development cycles have shortened dramatically—from 60 to 22 months—thanks to modern technology and virtual prototyping. He shares insights about over-the-air updates that enable continuous post-production improvements, allowing risk-taking during development. The conversation also touches on the fierce competition from Chinese automakers, urging the industry to adapt to rapid changes to stay competitive. The episode concludes with a look at the upcoming Management Briefing Seminar (MBS) conference in Traverse City, Michigan. Be sure to listen to the very end when Alan shares the names of their visionary guests and the new content they prepared for CAR's main event!
