The earliest cars were nothing more than horse buggies with motors (the first Oldsmobile was a horseless carriage with a one-cylinder engine plunked in). But once sturdier cars were invented and mass production made them cheap, the 20th century was forever defined by the automobile. It was the first industry to use the assembly line. People had unimaginable levels of freedom and mobility. Whole new industries and services sprang up, including motels, amusement parks, restaurant franchises, and fast food. Today's guest is Eddie Alterman, host of the new podcast Car Show. He thinks all cars are great - even the awful ones (such as the Pontiac Aztek). But some cars, he says, transcend their "car-ness." Some cars have a story to tell us because changed how we drive and live, whose significance lies outside the scope of horsepower or miles per gallon. Such models include the Model T, Porsche 911, and even the Lunar Rover. Because some cars are more than just a pile of metal, glass, and rubber. Some cars are rolling anthropology.

The success of the Apollo Missions relied on hugely imaginative engineering. There is perhaps no better example of this than the first off-planet electric car, The Lunar Rover.Today on the show we ask: Why did we send a car to the moon? How did we design something for an environment we knew nothing about? How did we get it up there?Dallas is joined by by Eddie Alterman, the longtime editor at Car and Driver and host of new Puskin's new podcast, Car Show!.You can listen to Car Show! with Eddie Alterman, from our friends at Pushkin Industries, here.For more History Hit content, subscribe to our newsletters here.If you'd like to learn even more, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad-free podcasts, and audiobooks at History Hit - subscribe today!This episode was produced by Emily Whalley.The senior producer is Charlotte Long.Edited and mixed by Stuart Beckwith.

Hi. It's Mike Musto, your host, and I'm here to tell you that this episode of the Hemmings Hot Rod BBQ was a hell of a lot of fun. It all started with Hemmings own Mike Austin (and this episode's co-host) suggesting that we bring on Eddie Alterman, the Chief Brand Officer for Hearst Autos. As an accomplished journalist, Eddie's words on everything from new cars to vintage Porsches have helped us understand what's going on in the crazy four-wheeled world that we live in, and as an automotive O.G., his wisdom on car culture helps us to understand where the future of transportation may be headed. What's even better is that this is just a great conversation between three cars guys who touch on everything from how they got their starts in this industry, to how the automotive landscape is so rapidly changing. I hope you enjoy this one, because I know we did… Cheers - Mike

The Jeep was created in the 1940s to serve the battlefields of World War II. It glided into France on D-Day, it slogged through the Bulge. Today you can find Jeeps cruising the Jersey shore, or parked in someone's garage next to a Mercedes-Benz S-class. But it still remains true to its military roots. It's still—defiantly—the most American vehicle of all time. So why does this anachronistic, out-of-step vehicle still sell so well? In this clip from Car Show! With Eddie Alterman, a history of the Jeep, and a theory on why it's so enduring.  Car Show! is produced in part by Deep Cover's very own Jacob Smith, Amy Gaines, and Jen Guerra.

Racing legend Mario Andretti joins Brembo RED to talk about his successful career in racing and Hearst Auto’s Eddie Alterman is in the RED studio to talk EVs and hot new vehicle reveals. Host Dan Sandberg discusses Andretti’s 60 years in racing. As one of the only American drivers to race with Ferrari in Formula 1 -- “I always dealt directly with Enzo.” His achievements are legendary: He won the Daytona 500, the Indianapolis 500 and the Formula One World Championship, an unprecedented trifecta. No other race car driver has ever won all three titles. Mario took the checkered flag 111 times during his career – a career that stretched five decades and across six continents. -- “I always drove the car ten-tenths.” And his philosophy on braking -- “Braking is part of performance, the better brakes you have the faster you are going to go.” Alterman, is Hearst Auto’s Chief Brand Officer. According to Alterman, “we are in the most convulsive era of the car business.” This professional “car guy” gives insight into the electric vehicle (EV) market including their style and performance, “Tesla made EVs sexy” and explains why and when we all will be driving EV’s. He also give us his take on the newest vehicles hitting the market including the Corvette, Ford Mach E, GM’s Hummer and the Ford Bronco.

Jon, Randall and Eddie discuss the future of The BIG 3 and everything auto! Born and raised in the suburbs of Detroit, Eddie Alterman grew up around, in, and under automobiles. He learned to drive at the age of 10 behind the wheel of his father’s 1962 Porsche 356B. In 1991, Alterman’s passion for cars led him to the door of Automobile Magazine where, between classes at the University of Michigan, he maintained the magazine’s fleet of test cars. He went on to hold various positions there (with a side gig as columnist for Men’s Journal), before leaving the magazine in 2004. In that year, Alterman started MPH. Billed as the anti-car-magazine, MPH combined the irreverence of Spy with the offbeat storytelling of a 1960s-era Car and Driver. Results were mixed. MPH folded two years later, but not before many, many traffic laws had been violated. After MPH, Alterman took back up with Men’s Journal and launched an automotive-lifestyle website, motivemag.com, while contributing to the New York Times. In 2009, Alterman was named editor-in-chief of Hearst Magazines’ Car and Driver, the world’s largest automotive publication. There, he expanded the brand’s digital, commercial, and experiential offerings while reinvigorating the printed magazine. In 2015, he assumed the additional responsibility of editorial oversight for Road & Track. In 2019, Alterman was named Chief Brand Officer for Hearst Autos; in this role, he helps to shape the editorial and business strategies for Hearst’s automotive brands, including Car and Driver, Road & Track, Bring a Trailer, and AutoWeek. He is 48 years old and lives with his wife, two daughters, one dog, and one old Porsche in Franklin, Michigan.

Mobility matters because it connects people. So, on this episode, we’re taking a look at the future of mobility, celebrating how innovative engineering is bringing people together, and even learning about a little bit of #loveatlexus. We start by talking to Dr. Gill Pratt and Eddie Alterman about Autonomy, the first comprehensive documentary that takes a deep dive into self-driving cars. Then Matt Kubarek shares how Toyota, Kentucky Children’s Hospital, and University of Kentucky Football are partnering to lift up kids, their families, and their spirits. Finally, we learn what happens when two Lexus dealership co-workers fall in love on the showroom floor.   Resources: Autonomy will be in theaters and on demand November 15th.

  This month we talk about the technological advancement pinned to change the world – autonomous vehicles. With Director Alex Horwitz and Executive Producer Eddie Alterman from the first documentary on self-driving cars, Autonomy (produced by Malcolm Gladwell), we explore the big questions. From how humans relate to and react to advancements in technology, to the conundrum that comes with the name ‘Autonomy’; is it us who are autonomous or the vehicle itself? We explore the full spectrum of questions this technology left us with.   For more information on Autonomy: https://www.autonomydoc.com/

It's time to put the brakes on the hype about self-driving cars. Despite industry and media forecasts, it may be more than a decade before many fully autonomous vehicles are on the road. Lawsuits and patent disputes are among the many hurdles that face auto manufacturers and tech firms.But this doesn't mean that technology is being thrown into reverse gear. Semi-autonomous cars with vehicle assist and other features are much safer than earlier generations of automobiles. Self-driving delivery trucks and vans are no longer a fantasy. "Fix It" guest Eddie Alterman, Editor-in-Chief of Car and Driver magazine is deeply skeptical about the widely-touted changes proclaimed by major manufacturers. "It's a scary concept anyway you look at it," he tells us. "The autonomous car is a very inelegant, very complex and a very fraught solution to the problem of texting while driving... and of information coming into the car when people should be driving."For Google, Apple, Microsoft and other big data companies, autonomous cars are a big opportunity. Instead of keeping their eyes on the road, motorists would use their driving time to consume more digital media. But Eddie says a mix of self-driving and traditional vehicles on the road would create danger. "People will deal with or accept flawed humans crashing into each other. I don't think people will accept supposedly fail-safe machines crashing into each other." See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

With technology in overdrive, self-driving cars are no longer a fantasy.  The first autonomous cars and trucks made by major auto manufacturers could be on the road within several years.   But "Fix It" guest Eddie Alterman, Editor-in-Chief of Car and Driver magazine says not so fast.  "It's a scary concept anyway you look at it," he tells us.    "The autonomous car is a very inelegant, very complex and a very fraught solution to the problem of texting while driving... and of information coming into the car when people should be driving."   For Google, Apple, Microsoft and other big data companies, autonomous cars are a big opportunity.

Vote Early and OftenThe rough-and-tumble world of Chicago politics is often given credit for the mantra "vote early and often." Even though not a legal option, it may not be bad advice when it comes to those car-of-the-year candidates. In fact, there are so many new vehicles being released by manufacturers each year it comes out to almost one per week. That makes it tough for auto reporters who need to drive and evaluate each one of them and then get the word out to their readers, listeners or viewers.Well tough or not, John McElroy was able to convince two of his North American Car & Truck of the Year judges him to join him on this week’s Autoline to talk the latest in vehicles. Car & Driver’s dynamic duo of Tony Swan and Eddie Alterman sit in on this week’s broadcast to evaluate what they’ve already driven, and what may be coming before the end of the year.

NACTOY's New Day? Since 1994, the first awarding of the North American Car of the Year, there has been a parade each year of three finalists with one winner. Amid the 48 contenders and 16 eventual winners with their sleek designs and top-notch engineering there's been only one car that many observers considered a gateway to the 21st Century, and that was the Toyota Prius Hybrid. Well, it may be 11 years later but welcome to the 21st Century. This year the more than 50 jurors of the North American Car of the Year chose not just one but two ground-breaking finalists by adding both the Chevy Volt plug-in and Nissan's Electric LEAF to its final three. But let's not forget the third member of the COY finalists, Hyundai's hot-selling Sonata, with its more standard internal combustion engine which received review after glowing review throughout 2010. On this week's Autoline, NACTOY founding member John McElroy is joined by two of his fellow jurors, Eddie Alterman from Car & Driver and Marty Padgett from High Gear Media, as they discuss all three finalists, what they mean to the auto industry and who they each believe will be the 2011 North American Car of the Year.

NACTOY's New Day?Since 1994, the first awarding of the North American Car of the Year, there has been a parade each year of three finalists with one winner. Amid the 48 contenders and 16 eventual winners with their sleek designs and top-notch engineering there's been only one car that many observers considered a gateway to the 21st Century, and that was the Toyota Prius Hybrid.

Platforms Like many other areas of 21st century life, the publishing world is in an upheaval. Newspapers are consolidating and closing while books are turning into digital devices and music virtually floats around the Internet for free. Yet perhaps the sector with the most on the line is the magazine; those recurrent glossy periodicals that cater to our every interest, taste and whim. The problem is that the magazine audience is getting a little long in the tooth -- to put it mildly -- yielding decreasing sales across the board. And no place is that more evident than with the automotive enthusiast magazine crowd. From Automobile to Car and Driver to Motor Trend to Road & Track, no matter the name, no matter the content, everyone is losing out to the Internet. So the multi-million dollar question is how can these grand old dames of the enthusiast set transfer the magazine experience to a new generation -- one that doesn't so much read information as it does devour it. Well, one answer may be platforms. Creating unique content specifically for a digital device. Of course that's easier said that done because then you still have to have an audience who buys it. Joining John McElroy to discuss the short and long term future of the automotive enthusiast magazines is a panel who knows the issues first hand. Csaba Csere worked for Car and Driver magazine for nearly three decades leaving as Editor-in-Chief in 2008. Eddie Alterman is charged with facing those challenges today as the current Editor-in- Chief of Car and Driver while John Neff and his popular website, Autoblog.com, is just one of the reasons that the enthusiast crowd is looking for new workable options like platforms.
