At the MWC 2013, Ford demonstrated how its Applink technology can be used to control music streaming app Spotify on your mobile device. Applink allows Ford cars to communicate with a number of different apps simply by connecting the car and the mobile with a USB device.
Controlling Spotify is one thing but Ford envisage a future where your Facebook wall updates and Twitter mentions are read out to you while you drive. Imagine that while the kids fight in the back, your partner shrieks at you for taking another wrong turning and yet another driver in front cuts you up – the possibilities are both endless and frightening.
