Project HAiku

SO as an exercise in fun, I decided to give everyone a chance to be creative. I had them pick the name of another SWAY employee out of a hat and then I asked them to write a Haiku about the person they chose… We were surprised at the several mentions of types of alcohol. OK, no we weren’t…

Here are some of the results:

SWAY and Ford, two great four letter words.

In launching the new 2010 For Taurus, Team Detroit contracted SWAY to execute the interior and exterior animations of the demo videos. With features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) and Collision Warning, it is clear we are living in the future.
