- Technology is now “an experience” on the Ford Evos Concept car, unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show last week.
- This cloud-connected vehicle knows all about your preferences, health, work schedule and much more. As a plug-in hybrid it can also “run as a full electric for at least part of its 500 mile total range,” reports Engadget.
- The car polls your work schedule, traffic and weather information to determine when your alarm at home should wake you to get you on the road in time. It continues your cloud music from your home seamlessly. It suggests alternate routes based on last minute changes to your schedule. It alters the energy consumption, braking, suspension and steering based on the requirements of the road ahead.
- Moreover, it adjusts the music to suit your preferences for a particular stretch of road. You can also share driving routes with your friends. The Ford Evos monitors your heart rate and pollution conditions and responds accordingly.

Though much of this is a little hoky, it’s great stuff to stretch peoples’ minds to think of new applications for the cloud-connected car. Nice going, Ford!

I’m very excited about what Ford has been doing in the automotive space — really developing out the car as the “second living room.” Mobility is the “it” app! Builds on what Ford has showcased at the past two CES shows, with Sync and MyTouch. Ford has definitely been the leader in this space.
