The Detroit Association of Business Economists, Detroit Regional Chamber and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago with cooperation from Wards Intelligence, LMC Automotive, and the Detroit Chamber presented the fourth annual Automotive Insights Conference. In past years, auto makers and suppliers were focused on the short-run demand for vehicles domestically and globally which were highly correlated to normal economic and business cycle pressures. However, as characteristics of personal mobility continue to evolve, traditional automakers, suppliers, and auto workers are focusing more on the long-run effects these changes will have on the automotive industry. This conference offered both the short-run sales and production outlooks while addressing some of the long-run changes to the industry through a series of presentations and panel discussions.
