CNN Business reporter Peter Valdes-Dapena has left the news organization.
He has been covering automobiles, the industry that produces them and the changing ways in which people buy, own and use them.
Valdes-Dapena has written about the industry for CNN since 2001 and, in that time, covered the American auto industry’s collapse during the 2008 financial crisis and its resurgence. More recently, he was covering the industry’s shift toward new technology such as electric propulsion, autonomous vehicles and ride-sharing services.
Valdes-Dapena was born near Philadelphia but grew up in South Florida where he earned an undergraduate degree in communication and a master’s degree in journalism at the University of Miami.
