API Driven Capabilities in the Automotive Industry

Interview with John Musser (Ford Motor Company)

Dec 17, 2020

“Software is eating your car” claims John Musser (Director, Platforms, Ford Autonomous Vehicles). We wrap up Season 1 with an episode that explores new affordances and unique functionalities that are triggered by a broader connectivity between vehicles, IoT devices and other elements of the transportation space.

The interview delves into questions, like

  • What opportunities do API connected vehicles open up?
  • How can you navigate an API program in a highly regulated industry?
  • What factors drive an API program of a large automotive organization?
  • What are the key steps of structuring an API program first “at home”, then in the retail and commercial markets?

    The hosts are Kristof Van Tomme and Mark Winberry.
