And, a recent tour of one of the Asian powerhouse’s vehicle plants has proved this beyond a shadow of a doubt, at least to Honda President and CEO Toshihiro Mibe.
“We have no chance against this,” Mibe said upon a visit to a Shanghai parts factory, commenting on its seamless automation across all levels of production. Logistics, procurement and all aspects of the process were so automated, in fact, that he did not spot a single human worker on the supplier’s floor.

Toyota’s CEO has likewise said regarding not just his company, but the industry in general, “unless things change, we will not survive”
I honestly don’t know. Probably BYD, based on how things are going…
Maybe the Honda Prologue, which I only just found out about. But I’ll keep driving my gas guzzler Honda for a while, since ei don’t drive it a lot so it will last a long time.
But really my point is that they’ve had a lot of chances to get ahead of this and they keep sticking to gas and hydrogen and not moving forward on electric.
