Sync: Ford to launch cars loaded with Microsoft developed software

Ford Motor has announced that they would soon display a hands-free Bluetooth wireless system and in-vehicle operating system developed by Microsoft for their cars.

This system would be available as an add-on on entire Ford brand lineup.

Sources said that this system will integrate some of the features of a personal computer into a car’s cockpit

This new system is likely to be called Sync and it would allow hands-free cell phone communication and other wireless information transfers inside the car. Drivers would also be able to receive emails on the go.

Ford added that this technology would be powered by Microsoft’s automotive operating system. The software giant had been working on this project since last couple of years.

Ford and Microsoft are likely to jointly announce the Sync initiative at the Detroit auto show and the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
