Ford is launching an AI-powered assistant in the Ford and Lincoln mobile apps that answers questions about a driver's vehicle and usage. The company says the tool can help with tasks such as checking fuel range, understanding tire pressure, planning road trips, and assessing towing suitability.

Why it matters: The rollout shows a major automaker embedding conversational AI into its consumer software experience rather than limiting it to chatbots or infotainment demos. If useful, it could expand expectations for AI as a practical layer on top of connected-vehicle data and ownership support.
