“See” the virus going around | Changan Ford unlocks new skills for safe travel

There are travel risks during the epidemic, and adequate precautions need to be taken even when traveling by car. For example, has an epidemic occurred in the destination, or does it coincide with the travel trajectory of the confirmed patient? Grasping this information in time can actively avoid sensitive areas and improve travel safety.

At present, with the technical advantages of Baidu’s smart navigation, Changan Ford’s models equipped with the SYNC + Zhixing infotainment system have received functional updates: when users use the car’s smart navigation, they can obtain real-time integrated epidemic information and plan safer and more convenient driving routes. Let every trip “bypass” the virus in sensitive areas, so that you know it well.

This update supports intelligent prompts for the following 4 types of epidemic information: 

Epidemic Location Reminder

——The latest epidemic situation has been updated, please pass by carefully

When SYNC+ navigates the car owner to the destination, it will actively remind the destination whether there are confirmed cases, and check the surrounding epidemic locations by searching the “case location”.

Epidemic restriction reminder

——If you know the restriction early, you will not take the wrong road

When certain expressway sections are restricted due to the epidemic, SYNC+ will take the initiative to remind when planning the route, assisting car owners to avoid the restricted sections and avoid delays in the trip.

Cross-provincial epidemic information

——The epidemic situation ahead has been sent, please pay attention

When navigating across provinces and cities, SYNC+ will provide epidemic information in the cities ahead and remind car owners to declare their health status.

Fever clinic information

—— Beat the time and seek medical treatment in time

When the car owner needs to go to the doctor urgently, he can directly search for “fever clinic” by voice, and SYNC+ will actively recommend the nearest designated fever clinic to facilitate timely medical treatment.

The SYNC+ Zhixing infotainment system supports OTA function updates, and has been installed in many Changan Ford models, including the new Ford Edge Escape, the 2020 Edge, the new Taurus and Focus Active. It is the product of in-depth cooperation between Ford Motor and the leading technology company Baidu in the field of Internet of Vehicles. It combines Ford’s rich experience and quality assurance in vehicle R&D and manufacturing for a century, as well as Baidu’s advanced artificial intelligence technology and rich services of the ecosystem, aiming to create a more Understand Chinese consumers, the most trusted smart Internet experience.
