Ford is taking on Tesla with a new group called Edison (qz.com)

I like it, kind of, but it's a shame because the story of Tesla vs the big auto makers seems to have a parallel with Tesla and Edison and many tech enthusiasts may already be on team Tesla. I do like Ford's work on technology though.

So they can steal all the ideas and patent them?

I think just the choice of name shows the typical big organisation doesn't 'get it' syndrome.
