推出一辆新车是昂贵的，在如何将记者带到汽车的时候，如何让汽车公司很昂贵，因为没有人可以感谢Covid 110bet app9疫园。这是本集的自动填充集团的主题，我与史蒂文展示的道路演出管理编辑和退伍军人汽车记者交谈。以日内瓦电机开头显示取消汽车制造商已开始在线转移车辆首次亮相。但是他们在做什么来代替他们的典型车辆发射节目，他们将记者的波浪飞到经历了汽车和一个非常策划和控制的环境，所以我已经看到了一些不同的事情发生了。最大的例子一直是发布现代索纳塔混合动力车，该混合动力车于3月发生。该活动计划于洛杉矶举行。汽车已经在那里发了出来，但它因为明显的原因而被取消。所以相反，关于我们目前的媒体情况的好处是，我们有很多人分散在这个地方。所以，如果你像洛杉矶这样的大型枢纽，你会从很多不同的网点中获得很多不同的人。所以现代，而是仅仅借给所有媒体的汽车。 I got one to do the review for us at roadshow. And held a presentation online where they went from Through the whole sort of power point duct that we normally would get at the presentation. Which is fine because we still get the same information. We still get the access to the vehicle but it's actually kind of Better because I get o test the car on my own time and my own terms and my own tough. So it's familiar world at my pace but this is an exclusive to how I drive now had three different cars come to me over the past. Couple of weeks that we're supposed to go out on press drives in curated spaces, but instead we're just brought to my home. Okay, in what ways is this new way of doing things better or worse? for members of the press, and you know, same question for the manufacturers like is it are you getting something different out of it? Or are they getting something more or less out of it than they would have otherwise? So the manufacturers are definitely losing that element of it. Control and captivity where, you know, they fly all the media to one location you're there, you're with them, you're not really able to go do other things they can put you in, you know, the test roads that they want you to be on. They can have you talk to all the people and have you hear from all the people that they want you to hear from, you know, there are lots of little things that go into all those events that are, We only think about a lot of the time but they're all very carefully curated to make sure that you have a specific experience as a journalist with a car with the automaker wants you to have. So by getting rid of all that and just setting the car to your house or your office or whatever, they're sort of dependent that you're gonna still Look at it in the same way that you would, had you had access to all of the executives and designers or product planners. But in a way that's almost a little bit better for me because, I get to determine how much drive time I have with the car. There's far more time for things like photography and social media. And you know, in the case of what I usually do by testing cars in Los Angeles is I have a set test route that I always use for just about everything. So I can take a car on that same, that same drive loop and I can evaluate it in the same way that I do everything else. So it's a lot more Context for me when it actually comes time to write the story. I think a really good example is when I did have that Sonata Hybrid, I was able to take several hours just doing a fuel economy run, which I think is important for a story like that because it showed that I was actually very easily able to beat the EPA numbers for For this extremely efficient car, but the amount of driving it took just to do that probably would have been the amount of driving that I would get in total on a normal car launch. I mean, so I guess to kind of wrap things up a little bit Do you think that vehicle manufacturers are going to change the way that they do launches kind of going forward? If and or when this whole pandemic quarantine. Situation subsides. Are they gonna do more of these Very quiet one on one like just send the card of the journalist type things for lunches or do you think it's just gonna back to how things were Before. So I think it could kind of happen both ways at the the benefit for the manufacturer again doing these events. programs is not only being able to control the time and the message and all that, but it's actually because, you know, as as we've said, numerous times throughout the pages of roadshow, it's far more economical for a company to ship people to cars than to ship cars to people. If you want to get all the right Media outlets to get into the car especially if it's a big national launch, you realistically have to make sure you have cars shipped to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Chicago, Detroit, New York, Miami, Dallas, there's, we're shipping cars all over the country. Then you've got to pay for the additional services of the companies that prep and deliver the cars which is not very cheap. And you have to remember that this will then take up much longer period of time where was considered being able to get 30 journalists into 15 cars in six hours. You're giving each of them a car for you know, as much as a week. Do their own testing on their own terms. So it just it makes the whole process a lot longer. I think that for things like debuts of vehicles, this could be beneficial because we can all just kind of log into a zoom conference and have a q&a at the end. I think that there are ways to integrate this, this virtual remote situation into you know the world as we knew it, but I don't think that once this is all over suddenly everything's gonna shift and now we're not gonna have car launches or programs like that anymore, but I will be very interested to see. How it affects things from here on out.
