The vehicle is very similar in design and shape to the last version, but the operating system looks to be all-new and inspired by fighter jets.

The company won't let us know what software it's running on.

The current lineup of Ford vehicles, including the F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E, are powered by Ford's operating system. The videos from the reveal seem to show a user interface that is completely different from what we have seen in the past.

The company won't say what software it's running on.

Some of that may have to do with the Unreal Engine, which is used in video games. The auto industry has been using the world of video game design to bring sharper graphics and better user experience to passenger vehicles. The Unreal Engine is being used by Volvo and the Hummer EV.

Vehicle owners can use theRemote Rev feature to get their engines revved by using a key. We didn't expect this to end up in a production model so soon, but that's cool.

We are left wondering what is underpinning the new and improved digital look of the mustang. Ford has said it will eventually have millions of vehicles on the road, but has yet to give an idea of how that will look. Is the new Volvo and Polestar vehicles going to be powered by the nativeAndroid automotive software? Will this be a version of Sync that runs on top of the phone?
