As automakers envision the future, it’s increasingly more high voltage than high octane. Beyond all the dazzling displays of the worlds’ finest automobiles at the 2018 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), I came away with the distinct impression that electric and autonomous vehicles are going to be with us sooner than you think. The promise of an electric and autonomous future was a dominant theme this year at the NAIAS. The high-tech companies participating in the auto show, focused on achievements that will propel electric and self-driving vehicles into your driveways and parking lots. As of today, electric vehicles (EV), in the United States comprise less than 1% of the market, but are expected to reach 20% by 2022.

GreeningDetroit.com’s New Correspondent Takes On The 2018 North American International Auto Show With A Fresh Perspective

, , ,

I have a confession to make. I haven’t been to the Auto Show in a few years. Okay, maybe over a decade. Like any child growing up in the environs of the Motor City, the Auto Show was the social event of the season. We’d drive downtown, park in a far-flung surface parking lot where men bundled in heavy coats against the Midwestern January cold waved us to the right spot with brightly colored flags, and take the crowded People Mover between the skyscrapers to our destination. Cobo Hall was vast, bigger than any place I had ever been, full of people, fried food, and of course – cars – ones where I was allowed to hop in the driver’s seat and full of that glorious new car smell. More

The TIP Team concept was created to drive more ‘Millennials’, the generation generally considered between the ages of 18 to 30, to NAIAS and other related events in the region, as their generation will be the group that will help revitalize and innovate the city of Detroit — as well as continue the direction and trends of the automobile, technology and other innovative industries here in Metro Detroit and abroad.

The 14x11x2.5 stand-alone awards are artfully crafted with reclaimed wood salvaged by ReclaimDetroit from Detroit’s oldest Fire Department House, located across from COBO Hall at 250 West Larned St., in Detroit, Michigan. Detroit Fire Department Headquarters occupied the facilities for close to 175 years (1840-2013).
