Ford also announced the addition of 13 new electrified models over the next five years and doubled down on its investment in connectivity and mobility technologies so much so that it launched Ford Smart Mobility as a subsidiary dedicated to emerging mobility services. Like its domestic rival GM, Ford has invested in autonomous technologies it intends to have a fully autonomous model in commercial operation by 2021 but has taken a more incremental approach compared to relative upstarts like Tesla Motors.
