Students and Instructors Review SYNC System
- While developing a SYNC® application programming interface (API), Ford enlisted the help of students from the University of Michigan-Dearborn to identify automotive-relevant mobile apps and beta test the first set of SYNC APIs
- Six students were granted use of Ford’s Developers’ License, becoming the world’s first SYNC mobile app developers
- Open API facilitates development of SYNC-enabled versions of existing mobile apps plus introduces new pathway for developers in creation of unique automotive apps
