"live stream" camera in the MAP facility?

[Sneds]

I like to watch live stream video feeds... A feed in the MAP would be great! Are there legal issues etc. that would prevent this?

Maybe call the folks from How It’s Made... see if they can get in there.

I think the first thing that would prevent it is Ford not live streaming it. They won't live stream the manufacturing process due to IP/patent concerns.

To @Erock's point, companies allow How It's Made and similar shows to only show certain aspects of the manufacturing process where the company controls and has oversight over what is shown. Live streaming loses aspects of that control and oversight.

Maybe get around it by focusing the camera at the end of the assembly line where new Broncos are rolling off the line?

No way ford live streams anything.

Maybe they can get in there at some point.

The Wheel Network

Edit: did a search for Bronco...looks like they've got some pretty good videos and at least one historical video at MAP. (Edit 2: not a production video.)

That would be awesome, but I doubt Ford, or any manufacturer, would do that. It's all about Ford's control over content being shared. They lose that ability with live-streaming. It wouldn't look good if they live-streamed Broncos being driven off the line and one of them had an issue with its brakes and crashed.

Ford and future Bronco owners would flip their shit. And it'll be a PR nightmare that Mike Levine would handle "by tomorrow."

Have a worker just drop off a go pro in a corner somewhere.... or one of those sneaky cameras that plug into the electrical outlet.

Not including a "?" in the thread title is just cruel.

Nobody wants to see a live stream at Webasto? I enjoy watching paint dry…

 

[Headsong]

ROTFLMAO! So, they nearly fired employees who took pictures of actual finished Broncos, and you think they'll live stream?

Sorry about that. Looks like an admin added it after the fact.
