The comments come about 48 minutes in on Ford's quarterly conference call.[0] When they talk about "length" they are adding up the length of all the individual wires inside the harness. So it can be any combination of: • a bundle is too long • a bundle contains more wires than necessary (eg switch to a shared power and data bus) • a bundle is completely unnecessary (sometimes separate modules can be combined/eliminated) • in some rare instances, wireless data transmission can be used • ultimately, switching from 12 V to medium-voltage (48-54 V) can eliminate multiple wires needed for high power modules.
