A big moment for our digital product, software and services team — the Webex app for video conferencing and collaboration is now available on Google Play for the Ford and Lincoln Digital Experience. It's going to make working on the go even better, especially for those of us at Ford Motor Company who use Webex all the time for meetings.  When we launched the Ford and Lincoln Digital Experience earlier this year, we noted how our platform approach enables our vehicles to get better over time. Customers will experience new features and services faster than before because on top of the system-level enhancements that are available through vehicle software updates, like we’ve been deploying to our vehicles for the past few years, new apps can now come to the vehicle through Google Play as well. This enables our customers to benefit from apps, like Webex by Cisco, and we're able to work more closely with third-party developers to bring new experiences to the car, like this one.  With Webex, drivers can stay productive on the go, and never miss a work call, through audio access while driving and a more immersive experience while parked including the ability to view incoming video feed of participants and shared content directly on the vehicle’s center display. Customers of the all-new 2024 Lincoln Nautilus can now choose to download this, and soon so can owners of the 2025 Lincoln Aviator and Ford Explorer when they go on sale. Thanks to the entire team for their collaboration in bringing this experience to life!

“Elevating the dashboard to a boardroom, Ford and Cisco are steering us into a future where traffic jams can equate to productive team huddles. This innovation shifts gears on our concept of ‘office space’ and brings a whole new meaning to working remotely. Excited to see how this impacts rush hour productivity! #FutureOfWork #InnovationOnTheGo #DrivingProductivity”

Amazing job team! Surprisingly I was thinking the same that if webex can be embedded into vehicle so that on the go can be as productive as in office. Like to test 😊
