About the Author

---

David Twohig is an automotive industry veteran, having spent almost three decades in the business. A native of Cork in Ireland, he started his career with Nissan in the UK in 1992. During his time with Nissan, and later with Renault after the creation of the Renault-Nissan Alliance, David led the engineering teams responsible for three very different and highly significant vehicles - the first-generation Nissan Qashqai (2007), the Renault ZOE (2012), and finally the award-wining Alpine A110 lightweight sports car (2017). David was named Engineer of the Year (the 'Mundy Award') by the UK's Autocar Magazine in 2018. He then spent three years in California's Silicon Valley, as Chief Technology Officer and Chief Vehicle Engineer at BYTON, a US-Chinese EV start-up, before working at Waymo (the ex-"Google car" autonomous vehicle company). Of dual Irish-French nationality, he currently lives in France, and works as an independent automotive engineering consultant.
