The upcoming 2021 Ford lineup holds an improved suite of new advanced safety and driver assistance features called the Ford Co-Pilot360. What kind of safety and driver assistance features are included with the Ford Co-Pilot360 system you might ask. Well, the new driver safety and technology assistance features include Active Drive Assist, Intersection Assist, Pre-Collision Assist complete with Automatic Emergency Braking, Pedestrian Detection, a rearview camera complete with a dynamic hitch assist system, automatic high-beam headlights, and automatic on/off headlights.
Pre-Collision Assist
With all the active safety features you’d expect in a modern vehicle, Ford brings it to you at a reasonable price. With Pre-Collision Assist and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), if the car is rapidly approaching another vehicle or pedestrian ahead and the sensors indicate a possible collision, the system will issue a warning before engaging the brakes automatically if the driver doesn’t react quick enough. Evasive Steering Assist can help drivers avoid potential collisions if there isn’t enough room to brake.
Blind Spot Monitoring Information System
Next is the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) (Blind Spot Monitoring) with cross-traffic alert. When detected, a small icon on your side mirror will light up when there is a vehicle in your blind spot. The cross-traffic alert will issue a warning when your vehicle is in reverse and another car is approaching from the side.
Lane-Keeping System
Automatic high beams are almost an industry standard and with Ford, perform even better than imagined. While driving at night or in low light conditions, the system will trigger between high- and low-beam headlights to ensure the greatest visibility without blinding oncoming traffic. The Lane-Keeping System (Lane Departure Assist) issues an alert when your vehicle leaves the current lane without an indicator signal and can automatically apply steering to reposition the vehicle into the lane.
Lane Centering
Lane-keeping and Lane-Centering are both parts of Ford’s Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control system, along with Speed Sign Recognition. Lane Centering controls the vehicle’s steering to keep it centered in the lane. You can choose if you want to use the more advanced tech or just lane departure prevention for a more natural steering feel.
