Hey Uber. I literally just found out about this system. I think it has a ton of potential. I think they want to wait and see before introducing it further and implementing it all over the place. I would love to put a little trash can in my rear seat and this could be the solution!

Ford Integrated Tether System (FITS) Thoughts
The way the cupholder for the rear passengers mounts using the FITS connector:

Being so low, I could see this more as a way to put cupholders, trash bins, and maybe even stabilize stuff if there were other mounts.
However, I also wonder if Ford thought about adding them in more locations, like:
Ford FITS location suggestions:
Passenger side of console - 2 locations for things like radio mic holders, use both for a laptop stand, etc.
Underside of dashboard lip - driver and passenger (for things like two-way radios, 3rd tether for laptop stand, etc.
Additional locations on upper back of seats (for Tablet, DVD, and Phone holders)
Windshield header - for things like dashcams, GPS, etc. normally mounted in this location.
I can see boatloads of potential if there were more of them strategically placed in a vehicle. But given just the one on the rear of the console, what are you going to use it for?

There's more than one FITS slot.
