It won’t stay that way. In the very near future, your dashboard may soon become as versatile as your laptop. Ford’s Sync, an option starting at $395, is an already available, multifaceted platform made by Ford and Microsoft. And Kia is currently rolling out a similar, Microsoft-developed system in the 2011 Sorento and Sportage called Uvo. The next iteration of Sync grows into an integrated media hub called MyFord Touch, while in-car Wi-Fi (WiFi adapter via USB shown below, left) lets drivers take the Internet along with them. In the future, cars may not only entertain us but could improve driver awareness and reduce distractions, and the advent of electric vehicles will forever change how automobiles connect with infrastructure.
