Ford latest infotainment for 2025 models

https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/ford/2024/01/22/ford-digital-infotainment-experience-panoramic-screen-gaming/72123875007/

This technology is already in other competitors vehicles since 2022. Ford is going to install them in 2025. WTF. Why is this company always behind everyone else.

That infotainment will be like Ford Sync. It will shut off or goes black screen while you are driving. Then you have no controls of anything in the car. You will have to pull over, shut off your engine and restart the vehicle.

This is Ford standard design glitch.

Everything I need is on my phone. I don't need BS on my vehicle. But since they took the AUX jacks away...now I have to find some other way to keep my car from slurping up my data. I guess minimal connection permissions is the only way they give us nowadays. As long as I can have my audio connected I need nothing else but car information from my center stack. Stay out of my life...

These 'ideas' always come from executives that make a ton of money, yet are handed FREE vehicles. Of course the only tech advances that come out are stupid gaming nonsense. That's because executives couldn't be further from real people feedback than aliens. PLEASE when are the BODs of companies going to get their heads out of their a$$es and realize you need to deliver vehicles for real people and not the greedy corporate senior leadership that are not worth the money you are paying.

why? why is any auto company doing this? Everyone needs a dependable vehicle to drive, not play games. The payments for these outrageously priced vehicles are game enough.

The Lincoln will have nice infotainment, but the car will not run. 😂

Some foreign company is going to come over here and sell us a car that is safe and gets us from A to B without these doodads that drive the price up on vehicles, not to mention the subscriptions. Give us projection and we can use our phones that already have nav, music, video, games, emails.

Great. More driver distractions. Just give me a no frills car to get me from point A to point B in comfort with blue tooth to play my iTunes from my phone. Cars are way more too expensive

Ford has to benchmark other companies instead of creating their own. It has been like this ever since I worked at Ford. No surprises here. Ford is usually 4 years behind the competitors.
