@csours Nov 2017 Makes a joke
on HN thread Can Ford Turn Itself into a Tech Company?
> Instead, I heard the Ford Motor Company described as a “mobility solutions provider” that engages in “multimodal journey planning.” People spoke about “whiteboarding” and “blue-skying” big ideas. I watched a video that described Ford’s efforts to build a “holistic, organic, interconnected system powered by a transportation operating system.” "Weird Al" Yankovic - Mission Statement: [this video]
