DETROIT -- Twenty years is an unmistakable milestone. Autoblog launched in June 2004, when the world and the car business were very different places. Fast forward to June 2024, and we’re faced with new things to write about, new cars to drive and new ways to bring you as much car information as you can handle.
We’re always looking for the next big thing. As we sit here in another June moment of reflection, the next big things appear to be AI, EVs and autonomous vehicles. We saw two of those three coming, back in 2019 at our 15-year anniversary, and if you think about it, AI was inevitable. We’ve had an interesting history since we launched on June 1, 2004. We created nearly 158,000 articles, more than 43,000 photo galleries and 836 podcasts. There have been five editors-in-chief and more than 170 writers and producers. Today, Autoblog is owned by Yahoo Inc., though we’ve also been owned by Verizon, Oath, AOL and Weblogs in previous lives.
