Episode Details

Lenny LaRocca, KPMG’s U.S. automotive industry leader, joins Molly Boigon, Automotive News tech and innovation reporter, on the “Shift” podcast.

LaRocca talks about why early predictions of a tariff-driven industrywide meltdown never materialized, and how auto companies adapted to avoid catastrophe.

Boigon and Hannah Lutz, assistant managing editor of content at Automotive News, also discuss BYD’s fast-charging rollout and a recent study that found that consumers have a better experience with a lower level of automated driving than expected.
