NEW FORD FOCUS DELIVERS INDUSTRY-FIRST TECHNOLOGY

摘要

Ford Motor Company is Launching a new technology that can predict when a car might skid - and by stepping in early could prevent the driver from losing control in the first place. The industry-first production car system called Enhanced Transitional Stability debuts on the new Focus and can calculate when a skid is likely to take place from a combination of the car's speed, the position of the steering wheel and the speed at which the steering wheel is being turned. If the system identifies that a skid is imminent, braking of individual wheels is applied - often before the driver realises that anything is amiss - by activating the advanced Electronic Stability Control; enhancing safety and helping deliver smoother journeys.
