Microsoft Sync. Its for the info-tainment center in the car. I had a rental with it once, a Hyundai Elantra which was a fun little car BTW. I kid you not that at one point the son-of-a crashed, I'm cruising down the highway and all of a sudden the car won't make a sound, won't play the radio, nuthin. I slipped the shifter into neutral, shut off the engine careful not to turn the key back so far as to lock the steering, restarted and it was good again. It was a good system other than that one blip.

I would think (hope) that would be for in-car entertainment, navigation, etc. maybe climate control, not control of the actual mechanical devices related to going, stopping, and steering. The system Ford uses for "voice command" control of the radio, etc. I believe is made by Microsoft.
