Mind Robotics, a spinoff of electric truck maker Rivian, has hired Doug Field, the former head of Ford's electric vehicle division. Field previously worked on Apple's secretive car project and oversaw development of the Tesla Model 3, making him one of the most experienced figures in automotive and EV engineering. His move signals Mind Robotics' serious ambitions as it builds out its leadership team.
