So, its beginning to sound like all of Ford recent quality control issues may have been self-inflicted by managment. A friend in the UK sent me an article from the BBC that explains quite a bit apparently. According to the BBC, and Bloomberg, "Ford says it has hired back some human engineers after AI failed to match their skills and experience." Sounds like Ford tried to get a jump on the AI craze and save money by letting people go, I guess it didn't pay off so well with all the expensive recalls they've had the past few years. Interesting read, BBC; Bloomberg

Love to see AI fail. AI should enhance people's ability to work and be productive, not replace people and jobs. Lesson learned!

Old news. And Ford was not the only one, but they were one of the earliest to explore this. They started rehiring the engineers over a year ago and recently Ford won the top spots in new car initial quality. Eventually, they will find a balance that works and it will increase efficiency.

Might be why we have several S/W recalls, due to AI 'vibe' coding.
