Buying A New Car? There’s An App In That, And Soon It Could Be Twitter

Much like with tablet computers and smartphones, car owners could soon be able to upgrade the electronic systems in their vehicles, allowing them to download apps and even connect with Twitter and Facebook, writes The Sydney Morning Herald.

An early implementation of the technology can already be seen in the Australian-made Ford Territory, whose advanced hardware is the latest in a revolution in car manufacturing which will lead to smartphone interaction, cloud computing, vehicle-specific apps and more.

The Territory includes a USB port that has upgradable architecture, which will allow the company to “provide updates for customers”, and should work in a similar capacity to the iPhone, allowing the use of apps which can be customised and upgraded.
