Today is the fishing opener too. I'm glad I'm not out there today. Going to see The Band Perry open for Tim McGraw tonight instead.

Ford and Google Team Up to Develop "Psychic" Cars
Published May 13, 2011
When you get into your car, you usually have a good idea of where you are heading. But what if your car already knew?
It may not seem that important now, but as more vehicles switch to plug-in hybrid powertrains, and municipalities institute low-emissions zones that mandate the use of electric motors, optimizing battery life could become a major factor for millions of motorists around the world.
To facilitate the transition, Ford has teamed up with Google for a research project that aims to create a car with the ability to predict where it is going, and autonomously adjust the way it operates along the way.
Envisioned as an opt-in service, owners would have their driving habits monitored by a cloud-based computer program that incorporates Google Prediction API software, creating a model of their behavior over time, according to Ford Technical Expert Ryan McGee.
“When you turn on your car it’s going to go out to the cloud and ask that model a question,” McGee explains. “It’s Tuesday afternoon about five o’clock, it knows I tend to go home about that time and it says ‘ahh, Ryan’s going home from work today.’ Then it’s going to use that information to help schedule when it’s going to use the engine and the [electric motor].”
