Yesterday we got word (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/05/10/fords-plan-to-make-commutes-more-efficient-optimize-evs/) that Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford/) was tapping Google's new Prediction API to provide location and routing services for its fleet of plug-in hybrids and full EVs. Today, Ford's engineers are speaking at the Google I/O developers summit and they've released a video explaining how the system works and how they plan to implement it.
You can get the full details in our previous post (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/05/10/fords-plan-to-make-commutes-more-efficient-optimize-evs/), but the short-and-sweet version is this: Ford drivers can opt-in for the service, which tracks their daily driving routine, and, after building a database of destinations and waypoints, the system provides drivers with more efficient routing to optimize their powertrain, reduce range anxiety and decrease commute times. We've snagged a handful of slides from Ford's presentation and you can check out the full video after the jump (http://www.mnfords.com/2011/05/11/how-ford-is-using-googles-prediction-api-to-increase-efficiency/#continued).
