Ford Making An App Store for Cars?
Wouldn’t that be nice – an app store for cars? Ford isn’t there yet, but they could be. I read earlier this week that Ford is pushing out a new SDK for software developers to create applications for For Motor cars.
Ford has not opened the SDK to anyone and it did not say which companies it has released the SDK to. “Our first approach will be evaluating existing apps that fit into categories that we think are appropriate for safe in-car use,” said Derrick Kuzak, group vice president of global product development at Ford, during a keynote presentation at the CTIA conference in San Francisco on Friday.The main areas Ford would like to see development are the categories include personalized entertainment, information and news, location-based services, notifications and alerts, financial apps and scheduling. You must admit, it will be interesting to see where this could take the car industry. Have you heard of the Google car which drives itself? It’s real and it’s running – check it out here.
