Ford to Use Google's Android System in 2023

Ford and Google revealed a six-year strategic partnership in which they will collaborate on new technologies and install Google's Android operating system as the primary system in its infotainment screens in millions of Ford in 2023, according to The Verge report, on Monday.

That means Google’s voice-activated Assistant, Google Maps, and other automotive-approved Android apps will be available in Ford’s cars without requiring the use of an Android smartphone.

In addition, the executives from Ford and the Giant Tech reported that the firm will also use Google's artificial intelligence and data analytics capabilities to better interpret the data it collects from vehicles and its own operations to improve upon things like customer service, manufacturing and marketing.

On other hand, as part of their partnership, Ford (F) and Google (GOOG) will create a group called Team Upshift that will collaborate on new ways the companies can work together.

Noteworthy, Ford joins Volvo, General Motors and the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance in striking a deal with the giant Tech to use its software to power its vehicle infotainment services. As well as, Apple is rumored to be in talks with Hyundai about a similar partnership.
