Ford President and CEO Alan Mulally delivers a Fusion Hybrid to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer |
Alan Mulally, the President and CEO of the Ford Motor Company, delivered the one millionth SYNC-equipped Ford vehicle to Steve Ballmer, the CEO of Microsoft. Microsoft co-developed the SYNC system with Ford. SYNC first debuted in 2007 on the Ford Focus and since then has been installed on 80% of Ford's vehicle sales in North America.
In 2008, SYNC received its first major upgrade, with two main added features: a Vehicle Health Report function and 911 Assist. The next update includes GPS Navigation with turn-by-turn directions, real-time traffic updates, and internet functionality. You can check out the SYNC website, and download the latest updates to your car here.
