Pengalaman Digital Baru Ford membawa Android dan Apple seimbang

As I drive down the highway in a 2024 Lincoln Nautilus, I am amazed by the technology at my fingertips. With Apple Maps running on the center touchscreen and a mirrored display above, the 48-inch Panoramic Display truly enhances the driving experience. This display, powered by Android Automotive OS, seamlessly combines the instrument cluster with infotainment and widgets, creating the “Lincoln Digital Experience.”

While some cars are moving towards a solely digital interface, Lincoln has found a balance between native software and phone projection. The new Android-based system in the Nautilus is a result of Ford’s partnership with Google, offering features like Google Assistant voice control and over-the-air software updates.

Despite some minor hiccups with transitioning between different interfaces, the Lincoln Nautilus provides a competent and intuitive infotainment system. The inclusion of Google Play Store apps, games, and streaming services adds to the overall experience. The Revel Ultima 3D audio system and touchpad controls on the steering wheel further enhance the luxury feel of the vehicle.

While some features like typing addresses while driving may be restricted for safety reasons, the seamless integration of both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allows for a personalized driving experience. Overall, the Lincoln Nautilus sets a new standard for in-car technology, offering a blend of luxury, convenience, and innovation.
