In the automotive world, nobody wants to get left behind as the industry moves ahead. Every major automaker has been working hard to innovate more eco-friendly electric and hybrid cars, and self-driving cars.
It's the future. It's how today's tangle of smog-making machines will transform into a utopia of well-behaved, computer-driven, zero-emission traffic.
Ford has promised to bring several new hybrid models to market, including a hybrid F-150 pickup, and the company is busy testing autonomous Fusion sedans in a range of weather conditions. But according to Automotive News, not all auto-industry leaders are as confident as Ford.
Last week, the CEO of Magna International—a global automotive supplier based in Canada—expressed concern about stock holders withdrawing their investments if they commit to electric vehicles, and can't deliver enough sales. He also worries about traffic regulations and potential lawsuits interfering with self-driving cars.
Everyone thought they wanted to innovate, but when change this big threatens to shake up an entire industry from top to bottom, it's hard to predict what comes next, and how to stay on top.
That's not stopping Ford, though. Keep your eye on our new inventory at Gillie Hyde Ford Lincoln Inc. for the latest automotive advances.
