In the March/April 2024 issue of Car & Driver magazine, Jamie Kitman points out the gains and pains within the current four-wheel EV landscape. Kitman’s Upfront article, Alternating Current provides the painful reality of “piss poor planning” (my words, not his) within the hallowed walls of auto OEs, again. As history seems to always repeat itself, once again the lack of reality has bit auto manufacturers in the ass. When global governments started mandating zero-emissions by 2035, the OEs’ jealousy of Tesla gained unprecedented momentum.
A great way to gather new insights for creative ideas is to travel. In my current role I travel a lot. The past week I got back from a whirlwind tour that took me through five countries in six days. Yes, a few of those were only airports, but it still counts when you are gathering bits-and-pieces to help you develop new ideas. All new experiences are critical to expand your perspectives and help you become more open-minded. This trip was fast and chaotic, but I experienced many new things.
