Ford Sync 3

Uh-oh, Alexa’s learned how to leave the house. Ford’s tie-in will roll out in two stages. First, round about now, owners of the Ford Focus Electric, Fusion Energi and C-max Energi get ‘home to car’ functionality that’ll let them use an Echo to lock and unlock doors and check its charge, all while sipping a brew in the kitchen. More excitingly, in the summer any Ford owners with Sync 3 will get in-car Alexa access.
