Video: Ford President on Autonomous Cars, the Economy and the Car He Drives

We got to spend time with Ford's president of global operations at #NAIAS and we talked about their autonomous driving strategy, how the economy affects truck sales and which Ford car he and his wife both drive.

We got to sit down with Joe Hinrichs, president of global operations at Ford (F) , at the North America International Auto Show in Detroit.

With the stock already up 4.6% year-to-date, Ford has been the star of the show this year with the introduction of the 2019 Bullit Mustang, the F-150 pickup winning Motor Trend truck of the year and the new Lincoln Navigator winning the North American Truck of the Year.

This is actually the first time a Lincoln vehicle has won the  North American Car, Truck or Utility of the Year honors, which is awarded by a panel of U.S. and Canadian journalists.

So be sure to listen to Hinrich's thoughts on autonomous driving, how the current economy affects truck sales and which car he and his wife both drive.
