Thats why I don't speak with certain members of my family anymore. Leave me alone.

furry one car you come across as a complete social media looser "I imagine like a management position the application, for this position must be maid directly with the companies hierarchy." MAID DIRECTLY? <-----Freudian slip? or.... are you in domestic engineering? But hey if you are a maid that's something to be proud of. It takes skill to get that piece of chocolate on the pillow just right. Wait a fricken minute you set up a GoFundMe and got one donation? Wait another minute... did you make that "ONE" donation somethin lookin kinda shitty furry one car

Yep, you are the cleaner at OHAP. https://www.gofundme.com/f/united-auto-workers-labor-movement-relief-fund Congrats on your one go fund me donor but you signed your page : " -Jayson Casselman Member of UAW Local 2000 " (Local 2000 is the Avon Lake Plant) It is pretty funny you claim to have retired from Ford but actually employed IN a Ford plant as a cleaner.

You and your 4 Twitter followers real powerhouse you’re running there

This is just too comical. Who are you to be getting lectured? Do you have any power or authority? Second, you have several retirees in your family? Have you heard about diversifying your investments? Same things works out for family employment, if some of your family retirees worked at other industries they would still be complaining to you because they would be getting even less of a pension. Vote as you wish, that is your prerogative , but I think the unpleasantry runs in your family, and soon the Lectures will be given by you to your other family members. And after you vote no and keep complaining you and your family keep bringing your offspring to work at Ford....and now they are complaining and complaining and complaining....and lectures...and unpleasant family gatherings.

Exactly! We've been saying this for years, but nobody will believe us. A super-smart, well-known, successful software engineer says it, and nobody believes him either. Autonomous cars are nothing but software (with a little hardware thrown in for sensors). Why on earth won't people believe software engineers who have been building software for years when they say it just won't work. Your quote in the second post is spot-on and what we've been saying all along.

it matters because he’s a really smart software engineer who understands the unbelievable complexity of the real world and the limitations of technology. Did you even read the article and the quote from the guy who worked on a pilot project? It’s exactly what all us IT professionals have been saying for the last few years. It’s just like the young programmers who finish their 1st program in a day and think they’re done. And then they have to go back and spend a month adding all the error handling and border cases.

Ehh. People who predict future tech are always wrong. Just a matter of computation. When I was a young man, the Cray was a liquid cooled multi million dollar computer the size of a small car and had a 360kW power draw. Now it costs a few hundred bucks and you carry it around with you in your pocket and it runs for hours on a 2,700mAh battery. 25 years is an eternity in tech years.

Outstanding chassisgroupleader and well put

You are just a worthless disgruntled and restricted medical Lazy. You won the lottery by getting hired by ford and being protected by the UAW, yet you badmouth both. You bite the hand that feeds you, you can't get a job anywhere else and want a nice separation buyout! If it was me I would give you the buyout because you are a cancer of everything that is wrong in Chicago. Bye bye Crybaby!

Your reading into what I'm saying-I didn't say the Mustang in its current form should go away-if anything the Mustang family will grow with the Mach E and whatever else comes along. Just like what Porsche is doing.

Most "muscle car Die Hards" are at auctions buying old ones. Barrett-Jackson is 90% gray hair/bald men wanting their "HS/College car".

That's some great info posted about AWD versus FWD and the 2.7. Makes total sense. Thank you for enlightening me.

So rather than imported Opel with a Buick badge, we'll get them with a Chrysler one.

I made sure my child didn’t work here, instead she works in a corporate setting and loves her job.

I heard that, I hope the insurance is left alone and our young people get a break from the 8 year sentence. Maybe a nice signing bonus too.

Let`s put it this way.... whoever or whatever you are, I`d bet a $9 hotdog and $11 Miller High Life at Wrigley that no one really cares who or what you be`s. But here`s your request. Decker - CAP - Paint Department - started back when you could get any color you want as lone as you wanted Black, and we used 4" wide brushes. Go to X16 and go up two flights of stairs, around the corner from the spill out shiters opppp`s sorry toilets and that is where they keep the old long hair. The office (cleaning supply closet) has DECKER on the door and is where you can be dazzled and some what bewildered at my supernatural recall of everything about sealing, sanding and squirting units. Now furious one car maybe you could give me a boring old long hair on a dead site some sort of truth behind your adolescent manner of posting here with the dead. Oh wait is this Jimmy Settles? Did you type "you`s should just be thankful you`s even have a dead site to post on" ????

yes... let's hope so... I gotta wait til 12/2 before mine gets "born"... ordered 6/28... so hopefully ..

Here's the best answer to that question: https://abcnews.go.com/Business/time-car-companies-wake-women-now-focus-industry/story?id=64087181 My wife loves the look of the new Escape... but fortunately for me she also loves the Aviator!!

Been told this is an Easter Egg if you look closely

Ford is very diversified in-terms of electrification, far more than any other company. I also think they may have a genius move with the Mach E by tieing it to the Mustang. Originally the Mach-E was developed under Fields with VERY modest aspirations, it was basically just another slightly better compliance car...they even called it the C-EV because C-Max. It was blandly styled but competent enough, absolutely generic. Hacket and Jim Farley drove them back to the drawing board and Farley initiated the Mustang transformation and turned it into a performance focused vehicle. It should stand out better than most non-Tesla BEVs with clearer messaging and bolder styling. And Ford's electrification scale spans every model and genre, it's pretty comprehensive. I have a hard time believing Ford doesn't have a winning solution in that mix. The problem with Hackett for Wall Street is they didn't cut jobs which would have had an immediate impact, instead they've restructured development which takes a much longer time to realize. Instant results are painful, people should be thankful Hackett isn't Wall Street.

Now that what I`m talkin bout and an extra large ice cold coke!!!!

$9000 plus a bucket of Popeyes chicken!

There is a reason that fully autonomous aircraft already exist and fully autonomous cars do not. Even though aircraft occupy 3D space and can move in all directions, the controlled nature and sparsity simplifies the problem allowing fully autonomous operation. There are no random people doing random stupid things hiding around the corner ready to pull out in front of you. Yes you have birds and other aircraft, but detection is much higher leading to longer reactionary periods. Automobile traffic is a much more complex problem.

This sums it up nicely. All of the proposed safety benefits can be implemented with drivers in the vehicle, so throw the safety argument out the window.

Not uncommon to read, "gusied up Ford platform" or "pulled from the Fords parts bin to create the Aviator", etc. Yet when they review a Toyota, it's "The excellent TGNA platform from Toyota" when reviewing a Lexus. I've made similar comments on their website blogs, I had one reviewer actually apologize because enough people had "liked" my post he felt like responding. That's all really anyone can do, is help educate.
