Our attendance at the Auto Mobility Show, which preceded the annual Los Angles Auto Show at the City's Convention Center, proved to be an interesting event
For one thing it was the first time when a global show brought  together new technology and automobiles.
The Auto Mobility event  preceded the annual auto show by four days and  attended by both auto makers and tech firms working on  cars of the future.
Also attended by more journalists than we have seen at one event in many years.
It is estimated that the two events will be attended by 5,000 journalists from around the world.
The four days of Auto Mobility were filled with seminars, meetings and exhibitions, many sponsored by individual auto makers.
The event we attended was sponsored by Chrysler and included Fiat and Jeep.
The regular Auto Show officially opened on Friday and will extend until December 10.  There are some 1,000 vehicles currently on display at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
This is the 110th edition of the Auto Show and considered the largest in the world.
And of course interest is always high since Southern California is the Number one car buying market in the U.S.
