Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford) has officially opened the doors on the company's new facility in California. The Silicon Valley Lab (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/03/27/ford-to-open-new-silicon-valley-research-lab/) in Palo Alto will serve as a hub for technology innovation where the manufacturer's engineers and designers can focus on independent projects designed to make vehicles safer and more convenient. Ford has similar facilities all over the world, but this is the first of its kind in the States. The company is hoping the location, smack in the middle of America's technology capitol, will help draw in new talent and open the door for further technology partnerships.
In addition to cultivating new relationships with other companies in the area, Ford will also use the Silicon Valley Lab as a repository for data. The automaker employs a raft of sensors on its vehicles, and that information can be later used to better tailor the driving experience on new models. Ford says it may also look to use the data to improve efficiency and lessen congestion.
