January 29, 2026, (Thursday), 10:00 am – 11:30 am, Hybrid, Car History with Dr. Gerald Lehmacher I was a small boy in a big city in 1960s West-Germany. Watching the traffic was my television and “auto” my second word after “mama”. The 1970s brought the oil crisis, a course in anti-consumerism, and the longing for a roadster that I would drive across the Alps to Italy. I got my driver’s license in 1980 and thought I could be a car designer. I studied physics instead, became a rocket scientist and taught atmospheric physics and climate change at Clemson. In my talk I will trace the technical and aesthetic development of the motorcar from its beginnings towards the ubiquitous luxury and consumer product of today. I will mainly focus on marketing strategies in Europe and the USA exemplified in advertising. China is now the world’s largest auto producer and technology leader. Individual transportation has always been facing many challenges. How will we drive in 2040?
