The Institute for Politics and Society in cooperation with Česká spořitelna is organising a debate called "Dependency of the Czech Economy on Automotive Industry ". The debate will be held in Czech.

In Czech industry, automotive manufacturing is currently more important than any other industry. A great revolution in the world production and use of cars is expected. Traditional automakers hinder themselves through gradual innovation, while companies like Google, Apple and Tesla are building robots and computers on wheels.
