Ford’s latest project, codenamed Green Zone, taps Google’s remarkable Prediction API to create software that can determine where you’re going by examining where you’ve been. Say it’s 8 a.m. Tuesday. Your car knows it is the second in a five-day sequence in which you drive 23.5 miles to the same destination. The software crunches data about your driving habits, the topography of the drive, details about traffic and time-to-destination and information about how the car performs.
