Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F)
In order to take a help on expanding the automaker’s connected car services, Ford Motor Co. (F), is turning to one of its early technology partners, Microsoft Corp.
Later this year, among the features that Ford plans to offer, through its new Service Delivery Network is the ability to automatically update its new Sync 3 infotainment system wirelessly. The service will run on Microsoft’s cloud-based Azure platform.
The corporation will be enabled by Ford’s cloud-based service to gather more data about how owners use their vehicles, according to Don Butler, executive director of connected vehicle and services.
That data, Butler said, “will raise our ability to understand the user experience inside the vehicle . . . with the informed permission of customers.”
Butler said the vehicle data that Ford attains wirelessly through the cloud could be used to remotely diagnose mechanical problems or alert owners and dealers on planned maintenance. It could also provide insurers with information about vehicle usage and owners’ driving habits.
Ford’s cloud network also will enable the corporation to integrate a broader array of mobile services both inside and away from the vehicle, Butler said.
Butler declined to say whether Ford is developing a concierge/communication service similar to General Motors Co’s OnStar. But he said Ford’s new partnership with Microsoft “positions us to be able to deliver a broad set of connectivity-related services.”

FOURTH QUARTER 2014 RESULTS:
The Corporation stated merged net proceeds of $116.2 million, a 6% decrease over the third quarter of 2014. The decrease in proceeds was largely driven by a shifting product mix, lower sales volumes from all segments, except for Rare Metals’, and softened pricing for rare earths.

Actual production was lower than predictable as a result of production interruptions while the Corporation continues to optimize operations, and this lower than predictable production has continued through the first two months of 2015.
Molycorp stated a loss attributable to ordinary stockholders of $329.8 million, or $1.43 per share. Adjusted loss per share of $0.39 in the fourth quarter of 2014 does not reflect impairment charges for goodwill and other intangible assets, out-of-ordinary business expenses, and certain other non-cash items.
The Corporation stated negative cash flows from operating activities of $75.8 million during the fourth quarter, and had $211.7 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2014.
