Ford’s EV and software chief Doug Field is leaving the company

Doug Field, Ford's EV and software chief, is leaving the company after stepping down next month. Alan Clarke, a former Tesla engineer, will take over as vice president of advanced development projects. This change comes after Ford's recent $19.5 billion writedown on its EV investment. The shift in leadership may impact Ford's electric vehicle and software development. Clarke will continue to lead the development of Ford's Universal Electric Vehicle Platform.
