2020 Year in Review Covid and Beyond

Posted on December 28, 2020 by Lynn Walford

2020 has been a  year of major changes in automotive and our lives.  I reviewed all the events I covered for Auto Futures in ”
Zoom, Norm The Scooter Dog (And Fighting Covid) – How Automotive Technology Shaped Our Knowledge in 2020.

I also summed it up in this graphic I Tweeted and posted on Linkedin.

Thank you to The NewsMarket and Auto Futures for allowing me to work at home and via Zoom to create compelling feature articles about the wonderful world of advanced automotive technology. I even learned how to disinfect and eat in my car. We’re all tired and I hope next year will be safer and easier.

Posted on July 21, 2020 by Lynn Walford

This summer has been hard for everybody. In fact the spring was pretty hard too. In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic I discovered a guilty pleasure on YouTube that will calm me down in a few seconds and makes me feel better. This phenomenon doesn’t seem to make sense until I figured it out what’s going on the YouTube channel– Shu and Tree there is hardly any plot but let me just say that it will get to you too. A video of a toy poodle’s first grooming has already reached 14 million views. Continue reading →

Future Features for Auto Futures: Fantastic Fun

Posted on February 21, 2019 by Lynn Walford

I have been writing for Auto Futures since the fall and I am pleased with our win/win relationship.  It has been a pleasure working with content head Adrian Smith who has a wry sense of humor and understands what makes a great feature story. Trade shows can be exhausting but they are much more fun when you guided to scout out genius.

For example, after sharing that I had Vegas throat and sounded like by former landlady Mrs. Furlong—-Adrian Smith suggested a spin on my coverage of CES and that’s how I came up with the “That’s Entertainment” theme feature. I personally didn’t think that spending time at the “dog kissing booth” at the LA Auto Show was strange—but it did make my LA Auto Show round-up howl. Continue reading →

Recent Trip to Beach Reveals New e-Mobility Wild West

Posted on June 24, 2018 by Lynn Walford

Yesterday, I decided to take the day off and go to Santa Monica beach. I was expecting a nice quiet walk breathing in the ozone from the ocean. Instead, I came face-to-e-scooter with one of the hottest topics in the transportation industry, the rise of shared, app-based, dock-free e-scooters that are swarming fair weather cities.

Battery Burn Out and E-Mobility Challenges

Posted on April 18, 2018 by Lynn Walford

This lithium-ion battery expanded causing the case to crack.

Four years ago, I bought new lithium-ion batteries for my cordless phone system and remote control  for my sound system. Starting in February, the batteries in the cordless phone system would only allow me to talk on the phone for ten to twenty minutes depending upon the handset. The battery for remote for the sound system expanded causing the remote to no longer fit into the dock and cracked the case. I was able to buy three new batteries for the phone system for $5.99. The new battery for the sound system remote was $14.99.  My 2013 Nissan LEAF will be five-years old in June, new batteries for my Nissan LEAF are $5,000! Continue reading →
