Now, for some good news from the North American International Auto Show.

German automotive supplier ZF, which has a technical center in Northville, is looking to create 800 new jobs, “most of them in Michigan,” the company’s chief executive officer said during a news conference this week at the Detroit auto show, Paul Eisenstein writes in the Detroit News. 

ZF is expanding its traditional base in brake and chassis systems technologies and is pushing into the emerging field of autonomous vehicles.

“If someone is available, they could start today,” said Stefan Sommer, the CEO of ZF.

Some of the new jobs will go to other parts of the country like Silicon Valley, the News reports.
