Carmakers struggle with the future in Los Angeles
Detroit
CAR manufacturers' attempts to square what American consumers want against what clean-vehicles regulators and investors want will go on show in Los Angeles this week, at an auto show that has moved away from calling itself just an auto show.
Automakers on Monday will begin previewing new models at an event called AutoMobility LA, reflecting an emphasis on digital technology and new ways of getting around, such as by self-driving cars. On Friday, the Los Angeles Auto Show opens to the public in one of the world's most affluent and culturally influential metropolitan markets.
