“To deliver, Ford plans to build a team of about 125 software and user experience engineers, plus business development, IT, and marketing folks, by the end of the year. Some employees will be transferred from HQ in Dearborn, but most will be new hires, lured to the 111-year-old company with ‘very competitive’ compensation, says CEO Mark Fields. A presence in Silicon Valley is big for two reasons: It puts the team working on things like self-driving cars and improved voice recognition technology closer to potential partners like Google, Apple, Nvidia, and even NASA. It also puts them where the talent is.”
