Ford Focus 2011

The all new Ford Focus appears to have a little too much technology.  Technology that even NASA could be jealous of.  Nevertheless, how long until it, all goes wrong?  Since seeing the new park assist, lane departure and sign reading capabilities of the Focus advertised on the television, I can only say that my initial reaction was…… wow, surely it cannot work.  Surely, the advertisement is falsely showing the car will control the steering wheel and not the driver.  In my mite to obtain one for a test drive, I have so far been left to read other peoples reviews and so far it actually seems true.  The new Ford Focus 2011 will park itself (with a little help).  Ford seems to have low stocks in the UK possibly due to the Japanese Tsunami or just incredible demand for this fantastic vehicle.

 Top Gear has likened it to the Golf and claim that it is actually a great car.  Not something I would have expected from the Top Gear team, so I would assume it is an immense car.  Ford have shown themselves as being possibly the number one vehicle manufacturer with their innovative driving technology in addition to providing a car that could keep you occupied for hours by testing all of its technology.  Nevertheless, where do they go next?  Will they eventually provide a car that can drive itself?  Quite possibly.

With safety to the driver, occupants and other road users in mind the Ford Focus should help reduce accidents.  Not to be confused with ‘prevent’, as the driver will always be the main controller, however the cruise control space awareness functions to stop you getting to close to another vehicle, or the front camera that will read road signs and alert you just in case you missed them.  Alternatively, the speed limiter that will reduce fuel input to the engine to keep you below the speed limit should all assist you with a perfectively safe driving experience.  There just seems too much to get to grips with and to be honest I think it is making people lazy.

The media clip is from a fantastic review site trusted reviews.com.  This trusted clip has confirmed for me that the car can actually park itself.  Incredible!
