As I overtook the Ford Sync system reaches the European market. The system will be installed first in the new Ford Focus, which will arrive in dealerships in the old continent in early 2012 as an extra at a price still to be defined for Europe. General Motors currently only has matched the bet MyLink platform that He was not even have a date for their arrival in Europe.
Ford Sync platform is the first that offers complete connectivity to the car. Back is the simple synchronization with the mobile. Ford's bid includes GPS navigation, telephone, internet connection using our own wireless network and entertainment, all controlled by voice commands and a handful of physical controls with an eye to distract as little as possible to the driver.
Traditionally, speech recognition systems produce quite a few complaints about his comprehension of human language. -Or-miss with the proper intonation or recognize our language, or have to learn bizarre commands. The voice recognition system, Ford Sync is not perfect, but it certainly is very advanced.
The company has reached an agreement with software developer Nuance, Dragon Naturally Speaking responsible for your system. The result is a platform that recognizes over 10,000 words in 19 languages. Apart from recognizing words, Ford Sync improves understanding of complex sentences, for example, to issue a direction without having to make the street first and then the number.
To send an sms just say "send an SMS to foo 'followed by the text you want. Ford's goal is to develop the system to the point of recognizing natural language conversational phrases. Sync Ford designers have done everything possible to integrate the most important controls around the steering wheel, leaving the rest to the voice commands.
Next to the button that activates the voice recognition can find a control hub for your phone, with two favorites configurable, and controls to manage the menus of a small 4.2-inch screen in front of the driver. The purpose of this screen is to display important information for the driver, as the remaining fuel, and statistics on mileage or speed.
The other data such as music and navigation is left to the 8-inch LCD screen resistive. The truth is that this touch screen controls are quite hard. When asked those responsible for why Ford chose instead resistive capacitive, the response was a bit disconcerting. For the company, a car must have a life expectancy of at least 10 years and capacitive screens did not meet the standards for durability and strength of Ford car.
Be true, but it is a shame. At least the screen is not intended to be used while driving. One of the best sources of Ford Sync is the ability to connect, with two USB ports any USB 3G modem, router or mobile Tethering to create a wireless WiFi network. The idea is that we use our own data connection even if you change mobile operator rate or in the future.
WiFi Area Configuration is set from the screen and is independent of the rest of the OS (based on Windows Embedded) so it can not be prying into the software of the car. Besides being encrypted and password protected, each time you add a device for the first time, the driver must authorize from the car itself.
Apart from 3G connections, USB ports for connecting all types of storage devices including hard drives. The system still does not recognize video codecs, but audio and images. Ford Sync also includes a composite video port, which can connect any compatible device, and an SD card slot in all its variants.
The control system is divided into four hubs, one for the phone and the wireless settings, one for the car settings such as air conditioning, a third for devices and the latest entertainment and GPS navigation. In this connection, navigation is provided by Navteq by the Michelin Guide. Far as we could prove it, is agile and provides instructions with the same voice of the onboard computer or on the screen with 3D buildings we've seen in applications such as Nokia Maps.
Not only are upgradeable maps via the 3G connection. Car All software will be updated in the future through regular updates to improve their performance. Although Ford offers Ford Sync SDK, reserves the right to control what applications developers and ends up in the car. Ford Sync is available in the U.S.
for $ 395 new vehicles, which is not an excessive price in the whole of the value of a car. The system could be improved capacitive screen, more applications, video codecs, and possibly an HDMI port, but Ford's commitment to improve it is firm and sure we will see even more advanced versions in the coming years.
