Ford Integrates Apple Maps into Next-Gen Electric Vehicles
Ford is integrating Apple Maps' MapKit for Automotive into its next-generation electric vehicles, starting with a 2027 midsize truck, to enhance navigation and EV-specific routing features. The partnership also advances Ford's BlueCruise driver assistance system with real-time traffic data and battery preconditioning capabilities.
Ford is the first automaker to use a new set of developer tools that will let it embed Apple Maps navigation and mapping directly into its vehicles' infotainment systems.
