Ford's SYNC might change the way we use Internet in our cars
Autonet is essentially a turn-key Internet solution. Install the device and pay the monthly fee for Internet in your car. But the Internet service is tied to the device that’s installed in your vehicle. It’s not like you can maximize you’re $30 per month by when you’re away from your car.
But Ford’s solution allows you to use any USB-based cellular modem, which means you can use one from your carrier of choice. Plus, when you’re not in your car, the modem can travel with you. We still have questions about compatibility and setup, but we’ll probably get a hands-on demo at CES.
