Ford Technologies
Technology and innovation are the fundamental drivers for Ford Motor Company’s Blueprint for
Mobility. As our Executive Chairman, Bill Ford, mentioned in a 2012 speech in Barcelona, in the
next five years consumers will see the migration of driver assistance technologies across our
product lineup. These technologies include radar-based systems such as Adaptive Cruise Control
and the Blind Spot Information System, as well as camera-based technologies such as Traffic Sign
Recognition and Lane Keeping Assist. In addition, we will begin investigating new models of car
use, such as car and ride sharing, and developing new partnerships that will help us connect with
consumer trends.
Our Lane Keeping System uses a small, forward-facing camera behind the inside rearview mirror to
“look” down the road, monitor lane lines to determine that the vehicle is on course.
