Ford also will roll out touchscreen drawing software and simple games for the Mach-E electric SUV. Purdy said software can identify potential problems in vehicles and fixes can be sent out if software can solve the problem. More than 6 million vehicles have the modems and collect vehicle data, but only those with the latest generation of electrical systems can get full over-the-internet updates. Even the base models of the Mach-E, F-150 and Bronco will be capable of getting the updates, Purdy said.
