Can you imagine a world where your vehicle could read the speed signs and automatically adjust the set speed of your vehicle to the posted speed limit? It already exists!
Available on select Ford vehicles is a series of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) features employing advanced radar and camera technology. ACC lets you set a cruising speed and distance from the vehicle ahead of you. When it slows down, you automatically do too; when traffic speed picks back up, you resume your preset speed and distance. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go enables you to come to a complete stop when the vehicle ahead stops.* Now add Lane Centering, which scans the lane markings to help you stay in your lane if the system detects you’re drifting out of it. And that’s not all.
Finally, there’s Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control, called Co-Pilot360 Assist Plus, which includes all of these features plus new Speed Sign Recognition that can automatically adjust the set speed of your vehicle to the posted speed limit. Ta da ... no more speeding tickets!
