Sometimes driving can take up a lot of time, so imagine a future where your car will happily tell you a joke or keep you entertained on a long journey?
No, this isn’t a scene from Knight Rider. It’s the exciting future awaiting Ford lovers as our cars continue to evolve into state-of-the-art driving machines.
Cars like the 2017 Ford Escape already have the revolutionary SYNC 3, Ford’s built in technology which responds to driver’s needs while they keep their eyes firmly on the road.
For instance, the simple utterance of ‘I’m hungry’, will reward you with a handy list of nearby places to get your pizza fix. Ask the SYNC to read a text message? Hey-presto! Your virtual BFF will keep you in the loop without compromising your safety.
It is the dream of engineers from the Ford of Europe Connectivity Application Team to take this to the next level. These super-smart individuals are working on developing speech-recognition capabilities to further understand drivers’ moods and needs. Indeed, in the not-so-distant future, your ‘empathetic’ Ford car may be able to chat in a desired language, offer jokes to keep you entertained and even give some sage life advice. Solo driving is about to become even more interesting! Want to experience the safe convenience of SYNC 3 for yourself? Contact us at Key West Ford in New Westminster, B.C, today to book a test drive.
