| Ford’s in-car infotainment a “polished turd” While the IT industry falls over itself to get its technology into motors, Ford is discovering the hard way what happens when they get it wrong. A court case into the infotainment system Ford installed in its cars has opened in the US and lawyers for the complainants have got their paws on some rather damaging emails from Ford engineers which show their low opinion of the system. One engineer describes the system as a “polished turd” and another worries that it is unsellable. Documents in a class-action lawsuit against Ford and its original MyFord Touch in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system in a 2013 lawsuit show Ford engineers believed the IVI, which was powered by the SYNC operating system launched in 2010, might be “unsaleable” and even described a later upgrade as a “polished turd.” http://www.techeye.net/news/fords-in...-polished-turd |
