Remote Computing Comes To… Trucks?
Print
Alongside having Denis Leary as the voice over in their commercials and Mike Rowe telling you how to stop an airplane, Ford is looking to make trucks appealing to today’s money minded consumer by adding remote computing to their line of trucks.
Ford will be integrating the remote access product LogMeIn to their trucks in the near future. Primarily, their flagship monster, the F-150 will be getting the product, but it will be reportedly available on other models as well. LogMeIn will provide “mobile workers using the remote access product to work on billing and other office documents without requiring them to carry a laptop in their vehicle.”
No word yet on how exactly it’ll be integrated, or if it will be usable if the truck is moving.
