The Home Connection system is a conceptual idea that could enable people to remain connected to their home by preheating the oven, checking home food inventories, and monitoring home security and fire systems while driving using voice-activation technology.
Where does Ford go with this idea? Schroer says, "The next step, of course, is for consumers to tell us whether this concept will meet their needs."
It also isn't hard to see how the Windstar Solutions model as equipped could easily be amended to suit the particular demands of campers, or fishermen, or tailgate partiers, or any number of people looking for a vehicle of "mass customization."
