Ford is joining Google in using Google’s Prediction API to create cars that determine where you’re going by examining where you’ve been.

A computer in your car would create an encrypted record of your driving data — where, when, and what route — and tailor the car to your driving profile. Eventually, your car “remembers” where and how you drive. It would then optimize itself for the trip to adjust the powertrain and improve fuel efficiency.

Ford is currently applying the Google Prediction API to two years of in-house driving data to test the learning algorithm.
