Android de Google y OpenXC y SYNC AppLink de Ford, son las nuevas tecnologías de Ford Motor Company
Thermostats today detect how many people are in a house so as to adjust the temperature automatically. Smartphones stop a video as soon as the viewer looks away from the screen. And cars can make sure their speed is right for the traffic theyre in. By using the power of sensors and wireless connections, vehicles can now inform the driver how to stay clear of a congested road, when to send an accident alert and even suggest when its time to take a break and rest awhile.Open platforms like Googles Android mobile operating system and Fords OpenXC and SYNC AppLink provide almost limitless possibilities for creating apps that help drivers stay informed and aware of what is happening around them as they drive. These applications can make use of real-time data to help drivers save time and gasoline.But if the driver has too much on his mind to deal with all these applied technologies, the auto will be able to deactivate possible distractions or simplify the user interface so the person behind the wheel can really concentrate. Similarly, optical and ultrasonic sensors, radar and movement detectors will keep the driver fully informed about what is going on around his vehicle at night.Cars of the future will talk among themselves and project the drivers senses outside the auto, thus avoiding danger on the highway.
