That is cool stuff. Never realized that automotive would be interested in it. We looked into this material on our products at worklast year but I believe that we were concerned about the wear characteristics.
Interesting - hopefully more applications like this will help the stock prices of graphene companies.

*looks in desk, finds pencils and tape.....
How much graphene do you need Ed?
How many pencils do you have? I think it would take more than what's in your desk to satisfy Ford's production requirements. LOL
