    Did Covid-19 change the automotive industry culture?

    The talk about bringing in Silicon Valley people and then they leave within a year, reminded me of when Ross Perot came into GM and he tried to change how things were done and they got rid of him.

    John Mentioned that Roger Smith’s big reorganization of General Motors really hurt the company.
    Could you (Autoline presenters and viewers) recommend any good books describing that period in GM’s history?
