Join us for Driving into the Future, an automotive virtual panel series

We live in incredibly tumultuous times. If we’re not being curfewed, we are being quarantined. The economy’s in tatters, countless jobs have been wiped out and entire industries brought to their knees. And, thanks to the pandemic, we’re even more “distanced” from each other than ever before. We are, in a word, being challenged like never before.

But, like most times of tumult, this is also a time for growth and exploration. Nowhere do we see that flower of rebirth stronger than the auto industry. From factories shut down last spring to curb transmission of a deadly virus, we’ve seen an amazing revival of the Canadian automotive industry. Technologies that were transitioning at a traditional snail’s pace are now leaping forward by leaps and bounds. And, if there is any silver lining to this crisis, it’s that the longest standing conflict in the automotive industry — the dealer/customer divide — has also succumbed to the powers of the pandemic.

No one in Canada is better positioned to introduce you to the road ahead for the automotive world than Driving, and we will do it through a new Driving into the Future virtual panel series. Driving.ca features Canada’s largest collection of automotive journalists and analysts, and it is also the best information source for Canadians from all walks of life looking to learn about, analyze, and research their next automobile purchase. That’s why we’ve put together a series of virtual roundtables that will investigate all the burning questions that can affect your next new car purchase. Has the Coronavirus really changed the way we will buy our cars in the future? What really is the fastest, most effective way to reduce our carbon footprint? Will autonomous, self-driving cars really make our roads safer? Is the rebirth of the Canadian auto industry real or an illusion? And because we know that not all your buying decisions are gazes into the future’s crystal ball, and we sorely miss the annual winter auto show season, we’re also bringing you a good old-fashioned guide to the best cars and trucks of this new year.
