The moves come amid Ford’s ongoing $11 billion restructuring that is shedding thousands of salaried jobs. It is evaluating its operations in certain regions as sales gradually slow in its strongest market, North America. While Ford is sticking to its goal of having a fully autonomous vehicle on the road by 2021, Hackett is tamping down expectations of how fast the technology will grow.
