Ford patent could play ads through car speakers
Ford remains mum on whether the system will eventually enter production go through Brad Anderson November 21, 2024 11:54 Ford may see these personalized ads as a great money-making tool. The company has not yet confirmed whether the system will go into production. In addition to display ads, ads can also be played through car speakers.

Sit down and open an old-fashioned newspaper and you'll often see full-page ads. Ford could soon start rolling out personalized ads in the infotainment systems of future models.

Ford wants to patent an ad-serving infotainment system that would
A new patent filed by Ford uses internal microphones to deliver relevant ads. In theory, it could also use information like voice commands and navigation directions to achieve the same purpose.
