Synopsis

Dr. Gerhard Schmidt, Chief Technical Officer, Vice President Research and Advanced Engineering, Ford Motor Company. Csaba Csere, Car and Driver, Tom Murphy, WardsAuto.com. Topic: A Look Into Ford's Technological Future

Few might recognize this little used 19th century noun. Fewer still have probably noticed the word is the soundtrack to one of the slick new Lincoln MKS television ads. The song emphasizes the abundance of technology you find in the new sedan. And technology has been a key to not only Lincoln's renaissance, but Ford's as well. Dr. Gerhard Schmidt is the man who leads the team at the Blue Oval responsible for EcoBoost in the engine, Sync inside the car and everything in between. On this week's Autoline he talks about this latest technology and what may be coming in future Ford cars and trucks.
