Description of the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:

The Automotive News weekly Shift pages dig into the technology reshaping a century-old industry. On these weekly pages, reporters chronicle the achievements and setbacks of automated driving technology. Here, reporter Pete Bigelow highlights extreme opposition to self-driving vehicles in San Francisco, a hub for such technology.
The team also covers emerging stories around vehicles powered by batteries or hydrogen rather than traditional gasoline. In this sample, reporter Molly Boigon explained how low electric vehicle charging utilization and high operating costs are killing profits for charging networks. Pete Bigelow outlines why BMW believes in hydrogen as a vehicle fuel source.
The team also tracks the pulse of American consumers and dealers: are they prepared for such sweeping vehicle ownership change? Boigon writes about leasing as a lower-cost EV option, and reporter Hannah Lutz tells a story of fractured EV adoption across the U.S.
The Shift pages also include “By the Numbers,” a fun fact adjacent to our coverage.
