Ford's doing some cool stuff when it comes to integrating modern electronics into their vehicles. Their Sync system allows drivers to voice-command their cell phone, BlackBerry, MP3 player and the like-- and it can even read incoming text messages.
Then there's the MyKey system, which acts as an electronic nanny by limiting radio volume and top speed for young drivers who get their own special key. It's sure to be a hit with parents of teen drivers, and considerably less of a hit with the teen drivers themselves.
Work Solutions takes the brand's knack for safety-enhancing vehicular electronics to a level beyond the average tech-savvy texter or worrisome amateur motorist. With a focus on added convenience, security and efficiency, Work Solutions is coming to the options list of a Ford pickup or cargo-van near you.
It's not certain how many contractors or construction companies have been restlessly waiting for RFID inventory tracking or an in-dash Internet connection. These two facets of Work Solutions may become niche products, but the CrewChief telematics and diagnostic system and the Cable Lock security system will likely be benefited from more easily.
Sure, Work Solutions is designed to let owners work harder and smarter, but it's sure to come with a certain level of high-tech smugness that's bound to go along with it.
