Ford is the first automaker to build prototype smart vehicles that are equipped with communication systems and Wi-Fi to allow 360 degree detection of risks. Ford is testing these smart vehicles across the country to analyze benefits like fuel efficiency, safety, and using Wi-Fi and GPS technology to potentially improve traffic and prevent minor accidents. The document concludes that vehicles may soon function like mobile devices that constantly exchange information to help reduce travel time and improve fuel economy.

2. INTRODUCTION
O Telecommunications technology has now reached
almost every corner of the planet and how it could also
reach the car, which now are smart.

3. THE FORD COMPANY
O Ford is the first automaker to build prototype vehicles
and this is holding a series of events across the country
to test the benefits, the safety of drivers and fuel, using
this technology.

4. BUSINESS PLAN
O Includes:
O A commitment to deliver maximum fuel efficiency of
each vehicle.
O Equipped with a communication system.
O Unlike security devices based on radar, identifying risks
within a direct line of sight, the Wi-Fi system allows 360
degree detection of potentially dangerous situations,
such as when the driver's view is obstructed.

5. ADVANTAGES
O Internet browsing
O Help prevent 81 percent of minor accidents and save
thousands of dollars in fuel
O Using Wi-Fi and GPS
O Could improve traffic delays

6. Ford is conducting a series of events across the country to test the
benefits, the safety of drivers and fuel, using this technology

8. CONCLUSION
O We are not far from the day when vehicles function as
mobile devices with four wheels, constantly exchanging
information and communicating with our environment to
do things such as reduce travel time, improve fuel
economy and generally help more easily navigate life on
the road.
