“Staying informed is important, and the USA Today app provides news, sports and more directly to smartphones and tablets,” said Julius Marchwicki, global product manager for Ford Sync AppLink. “The USA Today app shows how smartphone apps can add convenience to the driving experience using voice control through Sync AppLink.”
How it works
By voice command, drivers can tell their car, “play news story” or “listen to sports stories.” Users can customise their news or opt to skip stories as well.
Drivers can hear the latest top headlines across their favourite categories such as news, money, sports, life, tech and travel. They can play, pause, skip, or go back within and between stories to customise the listening experience even further.
