Ford has teamed up with AT&T to give owners of Ford’s upcoming electric vehicles the ability to remotely monitor, engage and control vehicle settings via information collected over the AT&T Wireless Network. Thanks to a wireless connection, vehicle owners will be able to control their vehicles even when they’re away from the car.
Ford believes that greater wireless control is essential in making electric car ownership simple, easy and engaging. Embedded wireless connection, and a dedicated app called MyFord Mobile, includes the ability for the owner to monitor and control a range of vehicle settings, plan trips, locate charging stations, or even pre-heat or cool their vehicle.
“Ford has been at the forefront of developing market leading telematics and infotainment services for its vehicles and we’re thrilled to be a part of this exciting and significant next step with the upcoming Focus Electric,” said Glenn Lurie, president of emerging devices, resale and partnerships, AT&T. “Connecting consumers directly to their electric vehicles in this new and innovative way is going to drive innovative and exciting levels of interaction.”
