In the fall, your new Ford could well be a whole lot smarter than it is now. By smarter, I mean more intelligent, because Ford already has a really good looking line up! The thing that will make your new Ford smarter is called "Sync", and the system was the "People's Voice" award winner at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and there was plenty of cool stuff on display that "Sync" beat out!
Before you have visions of Hal from "2001 a Space Odyssey" taking control of your ride, you should know that "Sync" is a fully-integrated system that allows hands free operation of your phone, hands free text message reception via text to voice technology (you can even respond with a series of set responses), and hands free operation of your Ford vehicle's audio entertainment system...including using voice command to play songs from a range of media players that can be connected to the "Sync" system! This part is really neat! You will have the ability to select tunes from your MP3 player by saying things like "Play artist My Chemical Romance", or choose a specific song like "Play track, The Black Parade"! You can even have it select specific types of songs, by matching parameters of the tunes with other songs on the system.
The new Ford and Microsoft "Sync" system is just another step forward for the car company that got the ball rolling for the industry early last century, and is leading the way forward this century. Guess what my new Focus is gonna have on it?
