Ford will integrate Apple Maps into new self-driving electric system
The change marks Apple software’s first influence on how Ford’s electric vehicle line operates, and could set a template for other automakers.
The New York Times Business reports that Ford Motor will use Apple Maps as part of a new self-driving system tied to its electric vehicles.
The outlet said this is a first for Apple software in the way a vehicle line operates, with the company’s mapping technology becoming part of Ford’s driving functionality.
The report also notes that other automakers may follow Ford’s approach, suggesting the integration could extend beyond a single manufacturer.
