Ford Motor Co. plans to make driver-assistance features central to the next electric F-Series pickup - so much so that you might be able to take a snooze at 60 miles per hour

Ford Motor Co. has suspended production and halted shipments of the F-150 Lightning electric pickup after a battery caught fire during a pre-delivery quality check. Production at Ford's Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Michigan, has been stopped until at least the end of next week. The automaker said in a statement Wednesday night it has no reason to believe electric pickups already in use by customers are affected by the battery issue. By the end of next week, we expect to conclude our investigation and apply what we learn to the truck's battery production processes, Ford spokeswoman Emma Berg said in the statement. This could take a few weeks. The fire happened at an outdoor lot nearby in Dearborn where vehicles are held for quality checks. The truck with the battery problem and two nearby vehicles were damaged by the fire, Berg said. No injuries were reported. The company believes it has identified the root cause of the battery problem, including the likely population

Ford Motor Co. plans to build a $3.5 billion electric vehicle battery plant about 100 miles (160 kilometers) west of Detroit that would employ about 2,500 people. The plant was revealed Monday at a meeting of the Michigan Strategic Fund, which approved a large tax incentive package for the project near the city of Marshall.

Ford Motor Co. plans to appeal a USD 1.7 billion verdict against the automaker after a pickup truck crash that claimed the lives of a Georgia couple, a company representative said on Sunday. Jurors in Gwinnett County, just northeast of Atlanta, returned the verdict late last week in the yearslong civil case involving what the plaintiffs' lawyers called dangerously defective roofs on Ford pickup trucks, lawyer James Butler Jr. said on Sunday. Melvin and Voncile Hill were killed in April 2014 in the rollover wreck of their 2002 Ford F-250. Their children Kim and Adam Hill were the plaintiffs in the wrongful death case. While our sympathies go out to the Hill family, we do not believe the verdict is supported by the evidence, and we plan to appeal, Ford said in a statement to The Associated Press on Sunday. Butler said he was stunned by evidence in the case. I used to buy Ford trucks, Butler said on Sunday. I thought nobody would sell a truck with a roof this weak. The damn thing is
