He can now work for a project that might produce something

Ford is hiring the head of Apple's car project away from the fruity cargo cult, meaning that he might get a change to work on a project that puts out a product.

For a while now Apple has been spending a fortune not creating a self-driving car and being unable to find a production partner who is prepared to make its car for next to nothing and not take any kudos for it.

Now it seems the head of Apple’s project Doug Field has had enough and is moving to Ford as its chief advanced technology and embedded systems officer.

The Tame Apple Press has put its best spin on the head-hunting claiming that it will give Ford the “technology chops” with a high profile hire from Silicon Valley. Indeed, Field previously worked as a top engineer at Tesla between two stints at Apple -- most recently as a vice president in its special projects group -- and played a major role at Tesla launching the Model 3 sedan.
