I'll be looking for the built-in hand sanitizer dispenser on the dashboard.

If they can. Not sure they've got the right type of factories and equipment to produce those. But if they can, cool.

One way or another, people need to keep working.

This caption caught my eye...

Ford is now manufacturing face masks for internal use globally and pursuing certification for medical use at its Van Dyke Transmission Plant.

"For internal use". While some of that is probably for workers right now who are working on PPE products (which need to remain sterile), I wonder if they're also planning to be making stockpiles for the rest of their workforce when they return to work? I'm guessing that will be an integral part of any government "you can get back to work" orders -- the strong recommendation that everyone wear basic masks at work (and anywhere else outside the home) to reduce the chances of restarting a new spread?

I think face masks may be a key component to being able to get back to work quicker.
