  • Ford Evasive Steering Alert

    Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] has promised to deliver a self-driving car within five years. It will have Level 4 self-driving capability, meaning it can drive on its own but is limited on where it can go due to a reliance on mapping data. Level 4 self-driving cars can also be upset by severe weather. (A more capable, Level 5 car that can completely replace a human will come in 2025, Ford says.) In the interim, Ford will roll out partial self-driving features for its cars, similar to what brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Tesla [NSDQ:TSLA] and Volvo have already done. On Thursday, the Blue Oval...

  • Ram Rebel TRX concept, 2016 State Fair of Texas

That should make Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] a little bit worried, because while the Blue Oval is heading down the downsizing route with its rival F-150 Raptor, equipping the 2017 model with a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6, Ram with the Rebel TRX is demonstrating it has no qualms dropping a V-8 in its own trucks.
