Ford to open research lab in Silicon Valley
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2012/01/ford-research-silicon-valley.htmlFord to open research lab in Silicon Valley
January 6, 2012 | 7:00 pm
Ford Motor Co. plans to create and open a research lab in Silicon Valley this year, its first dedicated R&D operation on the West Coast.
The research lab is "further growing the company's commitment to make technology affordable for millions," the Dearborn, Mich., automaker said in a statement. Ford said its future "is not just about building cars" but also about creating "uncompromised personal mobility experiences for people around the world."
The lab will be used as a hub to help Ford develop partnerships with established and start-up tech firms and with universities in the area, such as Stanford.
