How does Ford’s evasive steering system work?

Cars are getting smarter and smarter, helping drivers in ways they have never been able to before. One of the areas seeing significant improvement is the development of new safety systems. Ford has been at the forefront of many of these systems. One of the developments the company is working on is a new evasive steering system. So how does Ford’s evasive steering system work?

“Driver-assist technologies help us all be better drivers because they enhance our ability to see and sense the road around us.” – Scott Lindstrom, Ford manager, driver-assist and active safety.

Ford Evasive Steering Technology

Ford’s evasive steering assist system utilizes a radar and camera to detect if the Ford model is approaching slow-moving or stationary vehicles. The car then provides steering support that helps the driver avoid the approaching vehicle if a collision is imminent. The evasive steering system will only be activated if there is not a sufficient amount of space to stop.

Ford Safety Technology Systems

The evasive steering assist system is just the latest advanced safety technology Ford has developed. Ford models can currently be equipped with systems like adaptive cruise control with brake priming, rear cross-traffic alerts, blind-spot monitoring and lane-departure warnings. Both rearview and surround view cameras are offered on the Ford lineup.

Ford models also continue to turn in top safety scores in both NHTSA and IIHS testing. Ford is committed to provide our customers with the safety car, truck and crossover models currently on the roads.
