Transcript

What about CarPlay Ultra? Are you considering that? We are. We don't like the execution of Ultra in round one. But we are very committed to Apple. Ford does not have the rights in my opinion of disrupting someone's digital life when they get in their car. Whatever phone, whatever digital life you bring in, we want it to be as easy as possible. We don't want to be a hassle. We don't think we can design an experience that's going to displace your phone. And yet at the same time, whether it's automated systems or the way a trip gets planned, there are things that Ford is working on to add on top of that digital experience of Google and CarPlay that will make it even better.
