Ford SYNC is a positive initiative: anything that keeps eyes focused on the road rather than on BlackBerries, iPods, and Garmins seems like a step in the right direction, and the concepts of voice-activated dialing, hands-free texting, and voice-triggered MP3 controls fall neatly into that category. However, the most recent development to the SYNC system has me wondering whether Ford is following their step forward with two giant leaps back.
