Of the many forces that are driving luxury automakers to dismantle a century-plus way of thinking, two stand out: coruscating technology and affluent younger consumers.

The innovation side of the column claims progress in electric motors, data-spewing software binding the vehicle’s innards, connectivity with devices and third-party services, and the promise of driverless cars. Add to that the radical developments birthed by mobile tech: ride-sharing and subscription services, both of which threaten the solidly reliable car ownership business model.

The looming threat of U.S.-imposed tariffs on German cars – BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen and their various marques, in particular – is another wild card jeopardizing profits in the world's most lucrative car market.

Automakers: Get ready for a rough ride.

Not all the news is dire, as this free hour-long webinar at noon to 1 p.m. ET (New York time) on Wednesday, June 12 will explain. Attendees will hear panelists discuss:

  • What are the key disruptions bedeviling the luxury automotive business worldwide?
  • How are automakers responding via business initiatives, product development, design, marketing and new global markets?
  • Examples of automakers who understand the current consumer mindset and attitude toward auto ownership
  • Best-practice tips on how automakers can continue to retain and expand market share

Panelists:

David Undercoffler, editor in chief, Autolist

Tyson Jominy, managing director of the Power Information Network (PIN), J.D. Power

Moderator: Mickey Alam Khan, editor in chief, Luxury Daily
