Ever wanted to have Wi-Fi access in your car? You know, when you are listening to the radio, you hear a song, and want to have it loaded on your iPod? Well, what if you could have the Internet access you always wanted, but built in to your car?
Ford has officially announced that the next gen version of the Microsoft Sync system will let owners plug a USB modem directly into a car’s built-in Wi-Fi, creating broadband Internet access to all passengers.
From the CNet article:
Ford said that this factory-installed capability will be available next year on certain Sync-equipped cars and that no extra hardware or subscriptions will be needed outside of an existing broadband modem, which the customer supplies. Ford’s Wi-Fi system will include WPA2 security, ensuring that only people in the car will be able to hop onto the network.
So, time to save up for that new Ford next year…
