of the company. “Both the automotive and telecom industries are at historic
crossroads.” said Ford.
SYNC
has already been included in over four million vehicles in the U.S. since the
product launch in 2007. Ford had recently announced that it would be bringing
SYNC to its European Ford drivers and by 2015 Ford plans to have 13 million
drivers equipped with SYNC, including 3.5 million in Europe alone. SYNC is
going to be Bill Ford’s backdrop for his Blueprint for Mobility.

The Blueprint for Mobility sets short term and long-term
goals for significantly reducing Ford’s carbon footprint and to visualize what
the transportation will look like in the year 2025 and even further into the
future. Ford wants the company to be an innovative leader for the technology
and automotive industry by developing intricate in-car mobile communications
system with projects like the vehicle-to-vehicle warning systems to alert
drivers of traffic jams and accidents. In the long run Ford is getting ready
for the transportation landscape change where pedestrian, bicycle, private car,
commercial and public transportation traffic will be woven into a single
connected network to save time, conserve resources, produce lower emissions and
improve safety for everyone involved.
