Ford made it clear that the new customer is not an individual but a business. The goal is not to sell cars to consumers, but to companies like Uber, Lyft, and then commuters to use every day.

Why develop autonomous driving technology? Because the world is changing rapidly. Malakby said that for many people living in big cities, owning a car is no longer a viable option.

Bowen said: "Drive sharing and taxi service is becoming more and more popular. People like to go shopping in the mall, but now they choose online shopping, which leads to the flourishing of distribution services. Because of this, we have to build a business to adapt to new trends. We will develop and manufacture autonomous vehicles on a large scale, and we will work with a wide range of partners to provide a superior customer experience based on “people-centric” design principles.”

For the past few decades, Ford has been working with taxis and the distribution industry, which is a competitive advantage. Malakby said that the first self-driving car produced at the Ford plant would be a hybrid car because the hybrid car has a longer battery life than the electric car.

Ford places great emphasis on a people-centered design philosophy, and the team in Palo Alto is working on it. Ford will work closely with its partners to ensure that autonomous vehicles become builders of the road environment rather than destroyers.

Ford's current goal is to introduce autonomous vehicles by 2021, but Ford's R&D director believes that customers may not be able to buy autonomous vehicles until 2026.
