Ford recently unveiled their new FordPass® platform that allows users to customize they way they get around. Using a Smartphone app, drivers can streamline parking, vehicle sharing, mobility inquiries, and other aspects of driving using FordPass® as the central hub.
Ford has huge plans for the future of mobility that extend beyond an app and into the realm of autonomous vehicles. In just four years, Ford envisions a future where they manufacture high-performance vehicles and provide mobility services and autonomous shuttles to drivers via a subscription service.
Picture this: in addition to or instead of single-vehicle ownership, subscribers would be able to book vehicles for their specific needs for a monthly fee. Taking a weekend trip in the summer? Book a sporty Mustang to suit your mood. Need something that can seat the whole family and your pets? Simply reserve a Ford SUV to fit all your passengers and gear. This will allow subscribers who don’t own these vehicles to tailor their travels in a way that hasn’t been previously possible.
Kansas City, MO area commuters will be excited to hear about the most futuristic portion of Ford’s vision: autonomous shuttles. With more privacy and convenience than public transportation but more efficiency and cost-effectiveness than single-driver travel, these shuttles could revolutionize the daily commute. Once they have perfected autonomous technology, Ford also plans to sell fully-autonomous vehicles that lend drivers pedal and steering wheel control when they desire.
Fans of Ford models don’t need to worry; the American manufacturer will continue their longstanding tradition of making human-controlled cars, trucks, and SUVs. FordPass® and future subscription-based mobility sharing are just a few ways Ford continues to revolutionize how we travel.
