Randi is broadcasting live from Detroit at the North American International Auto Show where, for over a century, this automotive event of the year has been held.
Here is where the world’s top automotive and technology executives, designers, innovators and engineers appear on the global stage to debut brand-defining vehicles and industry-disrupting announcements. Since 1965 this show has been held at Cobo Center where it occupies nearly 1 million square feet of floor space.
With over 800,000 attendees last year, NAIAS is looking to bring in more to this year’s show which marks the end of an era as the 2020 NAIAS will skip the cold weather and move from January to June. NAIAS has been around since 1907—except for during World War II.
This Detroit auto show presents six shows in one, including: The Gallery, an ultra-luxury automotive event which marks its 30thyear at NAIAS; AutoMobili-D, an inside look at future mobility platforms; Press Preview; Industry Preview; Charity Preview and then concluding with a nine-day Public Show ending on January 27th.
Randi spoke with the team at Ford, including Executive Chairman William Clay Ford, Jr, about Ford’s revolutionary undertaking with Michigan Central Station, the unveiling of their 2020 Explorer, autonomous vehicles and the future of mobility, so stay tuned to hear more about all the exciting announcements coming to you from Ford and the 2019 North American International Auto Show.
