Ford Motor Co. is moving the development of its self-driving cars from the research lab to its advanced engineering operations, a sign that it’s getting closer to putting an autonomous auto on the road.
“For us, autonomous vehicles are about making the technology accessible to everyone, just as Henry Ford did with the automobile a century ago,” Raj Nair, group vice president of global product development, said Tuesday in a statement from Ford’s research lab in Palo Alto, California. “Our team is now working to make this technology feasible for production.”
