Ford Working on Facial Recognition Technology

Ford has been busy working on the latest technology – recently the American automaker has announced its joint efforts with Intel to design a facial recognition system for future generation Ford vehicles. The project is known as “Mobile Interior Imaging” and “Project Mobii” – the purpose of this technology is to create a more personal connection between the driver and the vehicle. Don Butler, Executive Director of Connected Vehicles said, “Mobii is a great example of culture of experimentation. I don’t know what the user interface of the future is going to be. I know that increasingly, I’ve got sensors, cameras, technology. So we said let’s try to mash some stuff together and see what happens.” Although this project is still under an experimental phase, Ford is confident that the project will develop into something great.
