Alex Davies

I'm a tech and sports journalist with deep experience writing about transportation, with a particular focus on self-driving and electric vehicles, and other elements of the future of how we get from A to B.

I now run Formula 1 coverage for The Athletic, heading a team I launched last year to capture surging American interest in a tech-first sport.

My 2021 book on the history of the race to create the self-driving car, *Driven*, was shortlisted for SABEW’s 2021 Best in Business Book Awards and won a bronze medal in Axiom’s 2021 business book awards.

From 2020 to 2023, I was a senior editor at Insider, where I led the transportation desk's coverage of the auto, aviation, and logistics industries.

From 2014 to 2020, I was an editor and writer at WIRED, whose transportation section I launched in 2016.

I'm also at work on a new book for WW Norton, about the wild and unseen world of product testing.
