Smart Mobility
Posted on by Kolbe
Ford attended CES this year and decided to debut something a little different than what you’d expect from a car company at a consumer electronics show. Rather than self-driving cars, or new battery tech, Ford outlined their “Smart Mobility” project. The Smart Mobility project has launched over twenty-five experiments around the world that are aimed at learning about how we drive and improving the way we drive. Some of the experiments target issues like traffic congestion, and parking, and recharging electric cars. Other experiments include a remotely driven vehicle so that you can remotely drive your car from its parking space to your front door. They are also looking at tracking driver behavior so that insurance companies can more accurately calculate rates on a driver-by-driver basis. Ford has information on all twenty-five of their experiments on their website if you’d like more detail. Lastly, they didn’t debut a self-driving car, but they did promise one was in the works and that they’d be looking to make it available to the masses at some point when the tech is locked down.
