Brock Yates Joins Tech Central Station

    WASHINGTON--Oct. 3, 2001--Brock Yates, Editor-at-Large of Car and Driver magazine, has joined Tech Central Station as a regular contributor with a new column, "Road Warrior." Yates' focus will be on the automobile: the freedom it affords, the technology it provides and the legislative and regulatory battles that swirl around it.
    Yates will explore such issues as CAFE standards, environmental issues, climate change, sprawl and other efforts to regulate the automobile.
    Yates writes, "The four-wheeled vehicle in all its forms remains the engine of freedom in the United States. As the barbaric assaults on the United States of September 11 demonstrated, the unfettered mobility offered by this infernal machine cannot be duplicated by any other mechanical device."
