Autoline After Hours 148 - Inside Ford's Technological Sandbox

TechShop is for doers. If you want to make something with your own
two hands and you don’t have the thousands of dollars to spend on a
top-of-the-line workshop, then this is the place for you. Think of
it as a gym membership for the DIY crowd. Now, TechShop, in
partnership with Ford, will become an incubation lab for new ideas
that will fuel R and D. To get to the bottom of this, we’ll talk to
the man who’s behind this new plan, Bill Coughlin, President and
CEO of Ford Global Technologies. Plus, you can bet we’ll be getting
to the news of the week including a rundown of what companies
kicked ass in April sales and which companies got their asses
kicked. Also, we’ll talk about which companies are doing a
beautiful job building their brands and which ones don’t seem to
have a clue. John McElroy is joined in studio by co-host Peter De
Lorenzo, the Autoextremist, and Charlie Vogelheim from Digital Air
Strike.
