Imagine if your car could have the intuitive powers that could read your mind and easily do things for you that can otherwise irritate you – like help you find that parking space, suggest you alternate routes to save you from traffic, read out your text messages while driving, check your appointments calendar, shut the garage door for you etc. Sounds impossible? Hear this…

Ford Motor Company is going places showcasing its latest innovations in connected services and cloud computing at Computex 2012 that allows seamless integration between your personal and business life, thus; making our digital lives a part of our vehicles.

All eyes on the EcoSport’s launch, the car comes with an affordable SYNC technology that allows drivers to simply use their voice to control the entertainment system through WIFI or Bluetooth.  The breakthrough technology gives drivers the freedom and convenience to control while letting them feel safe by keeping their eyes on the road. Ford Fiesta PowerShift Automatic that was launched in February this year comes with inbuilt voice control technology, not to forget the Ford Figo that is the only car in its segment to be ported with Bluetooth.
