As the US struggles to maintain its competitive edge in the rapidly evolving global auto industry, a new report from the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) argues that America desperately needs a comprehensive industrial strategy for motor vehicles. The report, set to be released on May 13, 2026, warns that the country's failure to invest in cutting-edge technologies and manufacturing capabilities will leave it increasingly reliant on foreign imports and vulnerable to supply chain disruptions. With major automakers like Tesla and General Motors already investing heavily in electric vehicles and autonomous driving, the report's authors contend that the US must take bold action to ensure its domestic industry remains a leader in innovation and production. By outlining a clear roadmap for revitalizing the US motor vehicle sector, the ITIF report aims to spark a national conversation about the future of American manufacturing and the need for a coordinated industrial strategy.
