Now that we’re all part of ‘One Ford’, I wonder how long it’ll take for Falcon to pick up some of these goodies.

Interesting, but I would say it wont make it here for cost reasons.
Unless FoA introduced a new range-topper above the G6ET (Customline anyone?) that would carry gadgets like this.

Hope it doesn't come here, I can't imagine anything more annoying then a chime and flashing light everytime the car thinks you are too close to another car.
Good to see a positive article about ford for a change though.

Its good that ford are brining these sort of things out onto the market. But realisticaly, the radar systems in a F-22 fighter is worth hell of alot more than the whole car (taurus) and are far more advanced.

RF energy like that from mobile phones to microwaves to radars and sonars cook you from the inside out. How many saw the 60 minute special on mobile phones and brain cancer, thats with just .25w of RF energy, 1000W microwave cooking you food, lucky its incased in a box, 25KW Radar on a ship (thats Mil spec, maritme use can be from 2KW to 10KW) same thing, I've seen waterbirds sitting on the Radar platform brain fried in a few of hours. RF energy now booming out on cars in you local neighbour hood, Dunno what wattage there going to be rated at, but being that they'll be on all the time collision avoiding (cause pethiedic drivers can't, dang those onboard distractions) it won't be long before unprecidented youth cancer hits the media, mark my words. Don't even get me started on the whales and dolphins that mistakenly beaching themselves... please its just your and allied navies playing in the area with subs. Sonar is just radar underwater.

It also works passively and if the car determines that a crash is unavoidable it will start to prepare the car for impact - fire pretensioners, move seats upright etc. It has its faults though - I particularly hate the distance the radar cruise control keeps between vehicles (admittedly it does follow the 3 second rule) as it leaves just enough gap for everyone else to jump in front of you. |

The current model Ford Mondeo has radar cruise control. Available in Australia too
