Vehicles are getting more complex, and repairs concerning electrical and electronic systems are rising. Where will the next issue arise? Producers need to know sooner than ever.
We Predict helps carmakers and their suppliers predict component failures in the field, thanks in part to a database of some 3 billion service incidents across the U.S., says Renee Stephens, vice president of automotive.
Companies already study failures for their own components. Stephens notes that We Predict helps them learn about the field performance of parts that may be new to them but have a service history with other users.

On Tuesday Ford unveiled—using the social media channels of actor Dwayne Johnson (this has got to unnerve some of the auto buff book editors)—the 2018 Mustang, which has undergone some modifications: under the hood (the 3.7-liter V6 is giving way to a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four, and a 10-speed automatic is available), on the dash (a 12-inch, all-digital LCD screen is available for the dashboard), at the tires (12 wheel choices), on the chassis (MagneRide damper technology is being offered with the Mustang Performance Package), and on the exterior (three new paint colors). And while on the subject of the exterior, there are some notable changes—a lower, remodeled hood, repositioned hood vents, new upper and lower front grilles, LED front lights, revised LED taillamps, new rear bumper and fascia.
