If Henry Ford were to see a car of today, it is unlikely that he would see it as being related to the automobile that he invented over 100 years ago. After all, like any successful invention, it has been re-designed and improved to suit the needs of the people as time went by. Likewise, if Alexander Graham Bell were to see the many variations of phone technology today, he too, would see very little correlation between his invention and the modern phone. However, in the past decade, these two industries have combined technological forces and have changed the look of the auto transportation industry.

In fact, as cell phones have become a part of mainstream America, companies like Apple have worked to provide an assortment of phone features designed to enhance auto transportation. In return, companies like General Motors, Ford and Toyota are looking toward infotainment technology to help them increase their sales- especially with high end vehicles such as Ford’s Sync which can be purchased with the technology to interact with your cell. As a result of vehicles like this, and others, there has been an insurgence of cell phone apps designed with auto transportation in mind. Today there are more than 100,000 apps available for the Apple iPhone and the iTouch. Chances are there are several that can help you.
