As part of the research course, Cloud Computing in the Commute, six University of Michigan teams developed apps for in-car use; a panel of judges from U-M, Ford and Microsoft selected the winner based on relevance and usability
The winning app, Caravan Track, will run in a Ford Fiesta research vehicle – outfitted with prototype software running on a Windows 7 PC powered by Intel – for the “American Journey 2.0″ road trip to Maker Faire
Ford continues to use the power of the crowds for app development and enhancement of its connected vehicle strategy, which aims to harness the power of social networks and cloud computing to deliver personalized content for a unique in-car experience
ANN ARBOR, Mich., May 4, 2010 – Students at the University of Michigan have defined their vision for the future of in-car connectivity – a future that includes applications combining social networks, GPS location awareness, and real-time vehicle data in ways that help drivers get where they want to go efficiently, while having fun along the way.
The experimental apps were developed by students who took part in a 12-week course, Cloud Computing in the Commute, at the university. The course, initiated by Ford Research & Advanced Engineering, prototyped social networking and transportation apps as part of a larger Ford initiative called “American Journey 2.0,” a joint open innovation research project involving Microsoft and Intel, offering students the chance to innovate the future of the in-car experience.
