Automakers, be prepared for China competition in U.S., Larry Dominique says

Automakers shouldn’t count on Chinese vehicles’ exclusion from the U.S. market forever, warns Larry Dominique, previously with Stellantis and PSA North America and now president of LD Management Consulting.If automakers “don’t push for innovation and push for technology, when those gates do open, they’re going to have that much more of a gap to catch up on,” he said on the Automotive News Shift podcast.Dominique and Jerry Hirsch, senior editor of technology and innovation coverage at Automotive News, discussed China’s threat to the legacy automotive industry, among other topics.
