This is the best summary I could come up with:

As the era of the software-defined vehicle takes hold, Ford is actively building out more services to personalize the driver experience, connect hardware and software and bring in new revenue streams.

The new unit will also focus on commercial solutions for fleet management, telematics and EV charging.

Ford Next’s CEO, Franck Louis-Victor, was arrested in July on felony charges of arson and assault with a deadly weapon after a domestic dispute at his home.

Louis-Victor previously oversaw a unit dedicated to technology-forward customer experiences.

“This is transformational, because the cornerstone of our Ford+ plan is creating incredible customer services and experiences enabled by great hardware and software,” CEO and president Jim Farley said in a statement.

“There’s simply no one in the world better able than Peter Stern to build this strategically vital part of our business.”

I’m a bot and I’m open source!

Hahahaha. No. I’m not paying a subscription to access my entertainment system. I use Apple Car Play and if you ditch that for your own crap to charge me a subscription I’ll fucking ride a tricycle to work. Fuck that. Oh and fuck Chevy too, they’re planning on removing CarPlay for their crappy infotainment system.
