Paul Eisenstein, Editor of The Detroit Bureau starts us off by highlighting the two major events of the new year…North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) and Consumer Electronic Show (CES)

NAIAS 2018 is Detroit’s Really Big Show as Ed Sullivan used to say (most of you remember him or can at least Google the name!) The future of driving as well as the latest models are one display.  You get a sense not only of where the auto industry’s cutting edge models are but where we are headed in the future.  Will that mean more electric or hybrid vehicles or will be see displays of self-driving cars and trucks?  Tune in and find out.

CES 2018 is a fitting connection for Paul because he will be heading there after his does his reporting for The Detroit Bureau The connection to the electronics show is a natural for anyone as steeped in the auto industry as Paul Eisenstein.  As a matter of fact, the electronic componentry in today’s autos are the strongest selling points after design and performance. Listen in to hear his commentary on both shows.
