FORD AND ADT ANNOUNCE CANOPY FOR AI-BASED VEHICLE SECURITY

Ford and ADT announced a joint venture called Canopy that will offer tech for
truck owners to prevent theft through AI and sensors and a related smartphone
app. (Canopy )

 



Ford and security leader ADT announced a $100 million standalone joint venture
on Tuesday called Canopy to help prevent theft from vehicles using sensors and
AI.

Canopy will initially provide in 2023 an after-market security product for
customers to install a camera in a cargo vehicle or pickup that faces toward the
rear and relies on AI to identify and report credible threats and trigger an
alarm when signs and sounds of breaking glass or metal cutting or “suspicious
sounds or motion” near a vehicle are detected.




The insights collected will be distributed to an app to send notifications to
vehicle owners. Acoustic sensors, onboard cameras, radar, LTE and GPS are the
technologies involved.

 
“Thanks to AI it will distinguish between true threats and benign ones such as a
cat in a pickup or nearby construction sounds,” said Christian Moran, interim
CEO of Canopy in a phone call with reporters.

A video Ford and ADT released shows how the system works, even including an
audible, “Hey, get away from my truck” from a remote truck owner on receiving an
alert. That two-way capability will be available after the initial launch. 




Canopy was incubated inside Ford using Ford AI and ADT professional security
monitoring. The technology will have the ability to connect signs of a theft to
an ADT personnel who may notify authorities if necessary.

Moran said the product will be self-installed initially in any vehicle, not just
Ford trucks or cars, and then will be integrated into later vehicles. He said
the upfront price and service cost will be announced later.

The goal of the joint venture and the technology is to stop vehicle theft before
it occurs, said Franck Louis-Victor, vice president of Ford New Businesses
Platforms. He said the FBI reported more than $7 billion of stolen work
equipment in 2020. “It is absolutely huge in the U.S. and security is top of
mind for customers. Vehicle thefts have risen in the pandemic,” Louis-Victor
said.

Software services, such as Canopy provides, are expected to be a $20 billion
market for the auto industry in 2030, he added.



An ADT spokesperson said it has worked for the past two years curating a set of
data to train the AI to distinguish benign from actual thefts and has validated
those models through pilots. It will continue to invest in collecting data as
necessary, the company said.

However, Louis-Victor described Canopy as a premium service that “won’t use any
data to make any business that is not directly for the Canopy services.”
