Ford Mobii App Could Let Owners View Interior of Their Vehicles Remotely
Ford's Project Mobii is an experimental new app-based service that would allow an owner to remotely monitor what's happening inside their vehicle, using five separate cameras mounted inside the passenger compartment.
Among other things, it might allow parents to keep an eye on a teenage driver. And the system could be programmed to block a thief from hotwiring the ignition and driving away -- perhaps even quietly sending an alert to the police. There's also the possibility that Ford could use the Mobii technology to better understand how motorists use its vehicles.
Highly Configurable Dashboards Offer Key Benefits
When it comes to fleet telematics, GPS Insight offers a dashboard that's highly configurable by the end user. It's very visual, it's easy to use, and you can make it as simple or as complex as you'd like.

2014 Initial Quality Study: Greatest Improvements, Steepest Declines
The way new-vehicle buyers perceive quality has changed, and as a result, J.D. Power has changed how it measures the quality of new vehicles, redesigning its annual Initial Quality Study (IQS) to better reflect how technology impacts customer satisfaction.
In the second year of the latest version of the IQS, there is a decided decline in new-vehicle quality, one rooted primarily in owner dissatisfaction with technology.
READ MORE about the IQS results.
