When Microsoft and Ford first partnered to bring SYNC technology to new cars, the idea of having an Internet-connected car was still pretty out there. Mobile broadband hadn’t started to take off, smartphones were still largely relegated to early adopters or business users, and the number of Internet-connected gadgets wasn’t anywhere close to what it is now. Now, the only real problem is finding a way to get an Internet connection to all of your different devices.
That’s going to change next year when Ford introduces the second generation of SYNC in-car connectivity systems. The new SYNC systems will let users turn their into car into one big Wi-Fi hot spot. Users can plug their own USB mobile broadband card into SYNC’s USB port and create a wireless network for everyone in the car to use.
