"Curve Control System" from Ford
Ford created a technology Curve Control System (CCS) for car drivers. This tool could prevent an accident due to the carelessness of drivers to maneuver around the corner quickly, so that the car loses stability.
In America, 50 000 accidents recorded each year because of the mistakes for turning very fast (in high speed). Now, Ford hopes this feature will be useful, particularly for the highway.
The advantage of this branch controller technology is that the four wheels can be hit to brake smoothly. Then, when a car drove beyond the speed limit, engine torque can be reduced to lower the speed to 15 km / h per second. That way, cars could go back on track. Ford explained that CCS works on rough surfaces, during wet or dry conditions. So, if the car does not veer as desired by the driver, the technology can restore the driveway into a safe position.
