LAS VEGAS--Ford Motor is making its vehicles an Internet application
platform by giving drivers access to streaming media and other
smartphone applications.
During a keynote on Thursday at the Consumer Electronics Show, Ford CEO
Alan Mulally plans to show off the latest high-tech touches to the
interior of Ford vehicles, including a redesigned driver interface that
will let drivers access smartphone applications through the
voice-command feature of the Sync in-car software. Cars equipped with
the latest Ford interface, called MyFord Touch, will be available in
certain models later this year, according to Ford.
The first three available applications are the Pandora streaming music
service, Stitcher news and audio service, and Twitter, said Jim
Buczkowski, director of global electrical and electronics systems
engineering at Ford.
