- Ford "Mode: Flex" Non-Functional Bicycle Prototype, 2015 - Automakers increasingly considered themselves "mobility providers" in the 2010s. Ford Motor Company's MoDe:Flex bicycle prototype was born of that thinking. The power-assisted bike operated via an Apple iPhone app that controlled the electric motor, monitored the rider's speed and heart rate, and provided navigation assistance and traffic updates. When disassembled, the bike fit neatly into the trunk of a compact car.

- Face Mask Component Prototype, 2020 - Like other American automakers, Ford Motor Company devoted employees and facilities to producing specialized equipment to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. Face masks reduced the risk of spreading the virus through respiratory droplets. This is a prototype part for a particulate respirator -- a type of mask that protected the wearer from exhaling and inhaling droplets.

- Face Shield Prototype, 2020 - Like other American automakers, Ford Motor Company devoted employees and facilities to producing specialized equipment to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a prototype face shield, to reduce the risk of virus exposure through respiratory droplets. Unlike face masks, which impeded the spread of droplets from the wearer, face shields protected against the spread of droplets to the wearer.

- Door Pull Prototype, 2020 - Like other American automakers, Ford Motor Company devoted employees and facilities to producing specialized equipment to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a prototype for a door pull that allowed a person to pull on the door with a forearm rather than a hand. The device reduced the risk of virus transmission by reducing contact with contaminated surfaces.

- Medical Ventilator Connection Prototype, 2020 - Like other American automakers, Ford Motor Company devoted employees and facilities to producing specialized equipment to fight COVID-19. Early in the pandemic, many infected patients developed serious respiratory complications and depended on ventilators -- then in short supply -- to breathe. This is a prototype for a connector that would allow a single ventilator to assist multiple people.
