The integration uses Apple's new MapKit for Automotive SDK and will debut in a $30,000 midsize electric pickup in 2027. Features include EV-specific route planning with charging station support, battery preconditioning, real-time traffic, and natural language search. Apple's road-level mapping data will also feed Ford's next-generation BlueCruise hands-free driving system. The move marks a significant reversal from Ford's 2021 Google partnership and signals that competition for in-car software platforms remains wide open. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
