Ford wants your driving experience to be second to none. In an effort to make driving safer and much cooler, they introduced MyFord, the new 2011 Edge and 2012 Focus dashboard at this week’s CES in Las Vegas. There will also be a MyLincoln Dash for 2011 Lincoln.
MyFord dashboard essentially eliminates driver distraction by replacing traditional navigational systems with some cool touchscreen tech, easy access environmental controls, and voice command. The MyFord dashboard system was a collaboration between Ford, Microsoft and Sony.
