Ford's new infotainment

It should come as no surprise that Ford is one of the leading automotive companies when it comes to infotainment systems and vehicle connectivity. Read an in-depth interview with Alan Mulally on the topic.

The new Ford My Touch just confirms this position. As an architect I am impressed by how they manage to coordinate suppliers as Gracenote, Nuance, Sony and Verizon into what appears as a seamless system based on Microsoft Auto, a system that can directly use services from Inrix, Pandora, Stitcher, Telenav and Twitter.
One side effect of connecting the vehicle with everyting else is the security of the information stored in the car, as described in this blog by Steve Cypher
