EDITORIAL: What we do is exciting

Walking around the SAE WCX conference in Detroit this April and reading through the topic listings for the hundreds of sessions and thousands of presentations, I remembered why I enjoyed this conference so much. I used to attend as a reporter for other outlets, but I haven't been back to WCX since before the pandemic. It was different to walk the halls as editor of this magazine.

What happens at WCX - and at dozens of mobility and transportation conferences around the world - is fascinating. I would bet big money that our readers agree. Still, sometimes it's difficult to translate the deeply technical work that makes up our days into something that piques the interest of those who don't spend inordinate amounts of time thinking about the “future of mobility.”
