The Ford Fusion Hybrid Puts on Its Night Vision Goggles to Maneuver Through the Desert
Safety rests at the forefront of many Ford designs; yet one devastating statistic still exists: the passenger vehicle occupant fatality rate during dark hours is about three times higher than in the daytime. Stronger headlamps, greater driver environmental awareness, a slew of accident sensory systems--all help better steer you through the night, though Ford believes it can do even more.
Atop of its latest autonomous innovations, Ford engineers are sending driver-less Ford Fusion Hybrids through a lonely Arizona desert--both in the dark and without headlights.
