| Abstract | The purpose of the meetings was to explore the implications of technological change in the U.S. automotive industry in support of improved policy formulation to meet emerging national needs. Five workshops were conducted in the following areas: (1) Motor Vehicle Regulatory Process, (2) Consumer as a Factor in Motor Vehicle Innovation, (3) the Supply Industry as a Factor in Motor Vehicle Innovation, (4) Changing Incentives for Motor Vehicle Research and Development, and (5) Role of National and Multinational Corporations in Motor Vehicle Innovation. The five key issues emanating from these workshops were the federal R&D policy in the motor vehicle sector, product rating information for consumers, regulatory decision-making, regulation and international trade, and transportation policy. |
