Trying to predict the future also means taking the risk of making a mistake!
But there are consultants who see correctly and some observers think that I am one of them.
Unlike the big consulting companies (who often content themselves with compiling press articles and by getting information from people like me), I watch the trends with a different eye and I try to see beyond the horizon, by watching what is going on in other sectors and by taking the social aspects into account.
It leads to a vision, a content, and it makes sense.
Because, according to me, the automotive industry is at a turning point and it needs to be considered globally, in the framework of a system, with the aspects of mobility and sustainable development in the background.
In 2000 I wrote a book called "Tomorrow, the automobile ", in which I delivered my vision of what will happen by 2015 and 2020.
And for the moment, all the things that I had foreseen have happened!
