Ford issued 152 safety recalls last year, a record for any automaker. Inc. ties that number to automation and to a lesson about the skills of the people who work alongside it. For car owners and business owners alike, the story is a prompt to look at who is watching for mistakes.
A recall is a notice that a product has a safety problem and needs a fix. Ford's count of 152 is described as a record. Inc. links it to automation, meaning machines and software doing work that people once did. The lesson it draws is about "M-shaped" professionals. These are people with deep skills in more than one area, not just one.
