"We recognize the importance of being in one of the world's leading innovation communities and ecosystems," said Ford chief in a statement released with the inauguration of the new innovation lab.
Renault-Nissan alliance also launched an innovation lab in Tel Aviv, with the same focus and purpose as Ford, along with other global carmakers.
The new lab will work in partnership with the Israel Innovation Authority that sponsors various high-tech labs around the country.
Groupe Renault, Nissan Motor Company and Mitsubishi Motors represent the world's largest automotive alliance. They have strategic collaborations with other automotive groups, including Germany's Daimler and China's Dongfeng.
Senior Vice President of Nissan Motor Company Takao Asami told Xinhua that they are here to scout new technology.
"We are looking for new technologies that we don't have, and Israel is one of the most advanced countries in cybersecurity, IT and sensing technologies. That is why we are here," said Asami.
Asami believes that the new technologies which are promoted by the Israeli government could help his company "change the ways in which customers use the vehicles, the cities are designed and the automotive business is conducted."
Although driverless vehicles are already running on streets in some regions, "it will take five, or 10 years, even decades" until fully autonomous vehicles are perfect in their function, according to Asami.
