Thread regarding Ford layoffs

TMC is the worst IOT cloud platform

Ford invested in TMC (Transportation Mobility Cloud) back in 2017 and this year TMC is merged into Ford.

In 6 Years, TMC could not perform how the Azure-based VSDN used to perform. TMC always goes down (at least once a week, as many services go down), has latency issues and issue resolution time is a joke, bad design and architecture. Their technology leadership are bluff masters and have been promising so much and delivering nothing.

It seems TMC is the worst investment Ford has ever made in any cloud technology.

Not able to understand, we are talking about quality, but we paid too much to merge this IOT cloud company (Autonomic) into Ford.

@rtm+1nGRW6iG - it is unbelievable how few Bay Area so-called programmers were able to steal from Ford due to the incompetence of the Ford negotiating team. Someone should write a book. There a lot that happened that should be told.

@wzp College kids already made a better vehicle security device than canopy, plugs into lighter, no subscription required, planned to be available for most vehicles next year. Add canopy to the list of Ford fails.

@gwf canopy for their “beta” that isn’t happening any time soon can only do trucks, no vans full of tools like they advertised in January 2022…no vans for at least another year. Another Ford Next failure.

From the autonomic . com website
Welcome
Autonomic was founded in 2016 and acquired by Ford Motor Company in 2018 as a fully-owned independent subsidiary. In 2023, Autonomic became fully integrated with Ford Motor Company.

And nothing of value to REVENUE has occurred since 2018. When will the Ford family say “enough is enough?”

College kids can make better IOT cloud than TMC.

Sunny and the Autonomic team took a Ford idea, tech bro’d it, realized 6 months in they were in over their head and quickly pivoted to “Ford needs an incubator.” So not only can you thank the former Pivotal snake oil salesman for the 9 figure loss associated with TMC, but also the nonsense that is Canopy.

Autonomic was yet another failure acquisition in a long list of them. On top of that, Ford has failed to actually successfully integrate any software to anything, much less a home grown cloud internet of things. And to make it even worse, there is no accountability.
