I write about the evolution of transportation and intersection of the auto industry and Silicon Valley for Forbes from Los Angles, the U.S. capital of cars and congestion. I've covered global automakers, advanced vehicle technologies and environmental regulations for two decades, including 15 years at Bloomberg News, as well as stints in the financial industry and corporate world. Started out at a small English-language paper in Tokyo in the final phase of Japan’s economic boom years. Later had a ringside to cover the launch of Toyota’s Prius and rise of Elon Musk’s Tesla Motors. From self-driving cars and ride-sharing services to battery and hydrogen propulsion, new approaches to urban transit and the commercialization of space travel, I want to know how we get there from here.
