Apps + Vehicle..what?!

Just as apps have transformed smartphones and tablets, car console screens are the next frontier!

Why apps? Because automakers say they are trying to fill in a big gap in their customers electronic lives.

FACTS:

• Ford Motor Company will be announcing it is doubling the number of apps available for its Sync in-car infotainment system to 10 at the upcoming International Consumer Electronics Show!

• Drivers can use the car's voice command system to select music over Ford Sync.

• Apps are expected to multiply to dozens or even HUNDREDS over the next few years!

• Automakers are being careful to roll out only those they don't think will raise issues about driver distraction.

So there you have it. There is and will be more apps, for that!
