Mark Fields the President and CEO of Ford stated that even when the company displays connected cars and shares its plans for autonomous vehicles the company is here at the CES for a higher purpose.

Each of these experiments by the company has been designed in a way that they will anticipate what customers will want and need in tomorrow’s transportation ecosystem.
