When examining the car industry in the US, Japan as well as Europe, one tends to focus on the crisis that has been shaking some of its biggest players for several years. But this century old industry is also a field for experimentation and technological innovation – a field where the very culture of innovation is undergoing a dramatic, exciting change.
Aux Etats-Unis et au Japon comme en Europe, on ne retient souvent de l'industrie automobile que les difficultés des constructeurs. Mais c'est aussi un espace d'expérimentation et de renouveau technologique. Un espace dont la culture d'innovation est elle-même en plein renouveau.
