Founded in 1902, Ford has recently been rolling out a new line of small, fuel-efficient cars, including the well-received Ford Fiesta and Ford Focus, loaded with technology like the hands-free Sync entertainment system and assisted parking.
Finally, TravRoute has created a voice-enabled software program that works with a Global Positioning System to allow hands-free, eyes-free directional information in a car.
This fall a redesigned 2008 Ford Focus rolls into U.S. dealerships, offering 35 miles per gallon and a nifty new hands-free phone-and-entertainment system called Sync.
