After nearly 30 years, big changes are in the wind for the North American International Auto Show.

Daniel Howes, Detroit News business columnist, says that it’s crucial for the organizers of the show, the Detroit Auto Dealers Association, to “make an appropriately aggressive decision for fast-changing times.”

Howes joined Stateside to talk about the new reality in which “automakers are abandoning auto shows,” the potential for creative solutions in Detroit, and preliminary ideas for 2020’s auto show.
