Not long ago, when someone used the term, wifi, the first thing that sprouted in our heads was wireless Internet connectivity and wireless networking, that would greatly ease the process of communication. However, one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the United States, Ford Motors, has now taken the concept of the wifi to a whole new level, where the company is now employing the wireless technology into its factories, where wifi is practically being used to give the final touches to the cars coming off the assembly lines.
As per reports, Ford Motor is currently using wifi technology to upload customized phone and entertainment features into the Edge and Lincoln MKX crossover vehicles. In this process, the wireless system is being used to send in software and features into the vehicles and depending upon the region of delivery, separate features are being installed in these vehicles. However, many experts believe that this unique trend of car customization via wifi technology, could only be just the beginning as, it has been envisioned the customization option could evolve to the limits of power-seat preferences and gear transmission. The use of this innovative technology could span the rise of a new breed of buyers, who would prefer to have their cars pre-ordered with their own preferences, rather than bank upon the company to release its dealer models.
According to Christine Williams (Autonet Mobile),
“The industry is moving toward using Internet access to integrate all of the technology in the car and keep it fresh.”
