Whether it’s watching out for your blind spots and keeping you safe from dangerous merges, regulating its cruise control using radar and other sensors to keep a safe following distance, or even taking over highway driving duties so you can enjoy the view, it’s plain to see that Ford driver assistance is second to none on the market. But what kind of technology can you expect to find in the latest lineup at your Ford dealer?

Co-Pilot360

Co-Pilot360 comes standard on most Fords this year and offers a suite of helpful technologies. Pre-Collision Assist with Emergency Braking does exactly what it sounds like: it watches for stationary objects ahead and helps apply braking efforts in order to prevent a crash. The Lane-Keeping System also helps keep your Ford on the road, while Auto High-Beam Headlamps maintain maximum night visibility when the road ahead is clear, dimming the headlamps when your *would blind oncoming drivers.

The Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert feature helps keep you safe while merging or backing up, watching out for vehicles that may be in your blind spots or crossing behind you as you reverse. When paired with the rearview camera, it offers confidence and safety when backing up.

Co-Pilot360 Assist+

Available either as a standard feature on some models or an upgrade on others, the Co-Pilot360 Assist+ system adds three critical systems. Evasive steering assist can help prevent crashes by aiding you in steering away from slowed or stopped vehicles in your path, and post-collision braking helps stop the vehicle in the moments after a crash when the driver may be temporarily incapacitated.

But the biggest benefit of Co-Pilot360 Assist+ is the Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go Technology, helping you keep a safe following distance even if traffic slows to a crawl, and centering your Ford in its lane as you go.

Ford BlueCruise

The cutting edge of Ford technology is also the top-rated driver assistance package on the market. Ford BlueCruise takes adaptive cruise control to the next level, offering automatic lane centering, including the ability to nudge away from vehicles that edge too close to your car. BlueCruise doesn’t stop there, though. Operating on 97% of American highways, BlueCruise takes the wheel, letting you drive hands-free down the highway, free to enjoy the view and focus on your family.

While there’s absolutely no substitute for an alert and attentive driver, this year’s crop of Fords offers a bevy of driver assistance features to make every drive a near-effortless joy. Schedule a test drive today at Nielsen Ford of Morristown in Morristown, NJ and find out what it feels like when your Ford takes the wheel.
