API Intersection

Navigating the Digital Transformation Frontier: Ford's API Innovation Story feat. John Musser, Director, Data & Analysis, Ford Autonomous Vehicles at Ford Motor Company

The wave of APIs taking over the world manifests not only in new companies springing up that are absolutely reliant on APIs, but also in transforming industries that have been around for hundreds of years. For one, the entire automotive  industry is heading in the direction of being an ultimately API drive ecosystem.

In our latest podcast episode, we spoke with John Musser, the director of Data and Analytics for Ford Autonomous Vehicles  at Ford Motor Company. John was attracted to Ford because the automotive industry is undergoing massive amounts of digital transformation through connectivity, electric vehicle expansion, the introduction of self-driving cars, and more. I chatted with John about what it takes to pioneer that digital revolution and the skills needed to guide a new wave of developers through the API frontier.
