    Join Automotive News Publisher Jason Stein for a daily podcast series about the coronavirus crisis. He’ll speak with industry experts, insiders and Automotive News reporters about how the virus is impacting and reshaping the automotive industry.

    Automotive News Daily Drive · January 20, 2021 |

    Mark Fields, a senior adviser at TPG Capital and former Ford CEO, believes inventory and parts shortages will remain a major hurdle for the industry this year as automakers and suppliers continue to grapple with worker absenteeism and the availability of labor at plants. Fields also makes predictions on EVs and chats about Apple's possible entry into the auto industry.
