DEARBORN – Ford Motor Co. announced several technology initiatives this week, including road tests of a fully autonomous Ford Fusion Hybrid and an effort with the girls’ computer science organization Girls Who Code.
Ford said its autonomous cars would take to the California roads next year under the leadership of its Palo Alto, Calif. Research and Innovation Center. The research lab, which opened in January, now employs more than 100 researchers, engineers and scientists.
Ford says 80 percent of the Palo Alto team joined Ford from the technology sector. The remaining 20 percent are Ford employees from the United States, China, Germany and Australia who bring automotive engineering and design expertise.
