Interview: Don Butler, Executive Director, Connected Vehicle and Services, Ford Motor Company

Ford recently partnered with California-based start-up Meople to develop an app that combines a user’s social feeds into one stream within the car. The Meople.Connector app will be introduced to Ford’s SYNC AppLink connectivity system. Drivers will be able to use voice-control to listen to messages from social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.

As Ford's Don Butler, Executive Director, Connected Vehicle and Services, explains: “By adding further news and personal communications, we are helping to ensure customers can stay seamlessly connected throughout their day in a safe and stress-free way.”
