Today, I want to discuss the history of the automotive industry with you, from the 1950s to the present. We will dive into the most important technological innovations, look at the major players in the market, and discuss how the balance of power between the United States, Europe, Japan, and China has evolved. The automotive industry has always been in motion, especially evident in the developments of the past seventy years. So, let’s start at the beginning: the 1950s.
In the 1950s and 60s, the automotive industry was dominated by the United States. This was the golden age of the American automotive industry, with brands like General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler—also known as the Big Three. These companies benefited from a growing economy and mass production. Think of iconic models like the Chevrolet Bel Air and the Ford Mustang, which were not only means of transport but also symbols of freedom and prosperity.
I invite you to listen to my podcast regularly. We will discuss fascinating technologies and inventions. We will talk about the problems and opportunities. We will ponder what the world could look like. I promise you it will be an exciting, fun, and optimistic journey. A journey full of robots, artificial intelligence, self-driving cars, and sustainable energy. A journey full of questions and answers. A journey full of wonder and astonishment. But also, a journey with a lot of recognition. I am going to create these episodes with great pleasure and I look forward to hearing your reactions.
