Ford Power-Up Software Update This Fall Will Bring Alexa to the Bronco

[Hopeless Diamond]

Don't mind me. I'm just mining Ethereum with my Bronco, burning $5/gallon gas, idling in the Starbucks parking lot.

You think gas will only be $5/gal when we actually get the Broncos? Probably north of there by then at this rate.

Same! I have 5-6 alexas, Ring, Nest, Google Wi-Fi etc. I hope I can remote start from in my house!!!

My first thought!
I like the "Alexa defrost the Bronco" idea, particularly

 

[DUSTYcazOREGON]

Fuck that. I have no interest, there better be an opt out.

Totally agree. My damn smart TV already listens to us. I don't want Alexa in my home or my car. Tired of Big Tech monitoring and listening to "us".

 

[RACERED-WT]

that's a no from me. i want the Bronco to get away, not have the government in my off grid tent

ME: "How about much better gas mileage AND lots of horsepower?"

FORD: "No. Order mulch from the CIA and ask about the weather."

I see the future. Ads popping up on our screens in the bronco to save .25 at the pump

Will it know when I'm out of almond milk and put the nearest Whole Foods in the nav? If it can't do that, I have no use for it.

Me: "Alexa: Can you tell me more about the Bronco?"
Alexa: "I'm sorry, I don't understand. Did you ask me to provide information regarding unobtainium?"

Was thinking the same but no can do with manual.

I'm genuinely amused people are worried about being tracked while they also never going anywhere without their phone... in their vehicles already equipped with vehicle tracking systems...

The paranoia is real lol. If people don’t want to be tracked they should be using a basic Nokia and driving a car from the 2000s or even earlier. Not like the dealer can’t already see what you’re doing once they plug in an OBDII scanner.

I would this, but I don’t like that things like this are likely.

Lmao at thinking we should just embrace openly enabled audio surveillance just because we opted into location tracking on smartphones.

 

[The Memedalorian]

Yes, we're " aLrEaDy bEiNg tRaCkEd wItH oUr sMaRtpHoNeS"...

The big NOPE on this is their ability to track, update, and/or shut down vehicles remotely.

Ford should focus on how to build the Broncos not this…: where is my bronco Ford!!!!!!!!!!

NO SHIT.
