the future going to look like? it cannot be more diametrically opposed. but in california they had already been involved in the tug-of-war with the industry so they enter stood what kinds of incentives automakers responded to. at the chinese to the political pressure of the enterprises that are not just ceos but they put a lot of money behind the electric vehicle. in many cities and provinces for the electric vehicle. >> it has not taken off. >> that is one of the most fascinating things that propels the industry for word. it is just to get the incentive right. >> how does japan and how are they doing? >> so tell us how to pay and got into that game. >> and the beginning it is a mosaic spoiler for the american auto manufacturers. there is a lot of pressure of the big three to reduce air emissions. that theoretically was working on technology but they were promptly sued the they were colluding to keep technologies out of the auto market. but they were skeptical of their collaboration. so they turn to the japanese and said we have a huge market and very defined goals what we
