April 3, 2018, Shanghai, China - Ford Motor Company officially launched the Ford Co-Pilot360TM driving assistance system, enabling Chinese car owners to be safe and secure when they travel, avoiding street congestion and alleviating travel pressure.
The new generation of Ford Focus will be the first Ford Co-Pilot360TM model to be introduced in the Chinese market this year. By 2019, the vast majority of Ford new models developed and marketed in China will be equipped with the Ford Co-Pilot360TM.
The Ford Motor Company's 2016 smart commuting questionnaire survey showed that 48% of Chinese commuters surveyed said that they spend more time in traffic jams than in the previous year, and traffic congestion and parking difficulties are the main reasons. 23% said that commuting to work is the worst time of the day.
"Although today's vehicle safety performance has been greatly improved, drivers are still worried about unexpected situations," said Jim Farley, executive vice president and global market president for Ford Motor Co., 'This is exactly what we hope will be Ford Co-Pilot360TM. The important reason why Zhidao driving assistance system can be promoted. '
The Ford Co-Pilot360TM intelligent driving assistance system includes an intelligent sensor braking protection system (with pedestrian recognition function) that can help reduce the severity of accidents, and in some cases avoid hitting slow moving or stationary vehicles and pedestrians in front of you. Traffic safety issues are particularly severe in China. According to World Health Organization statistics, China’s annual traffic accident deaths are about 260,000. At a certain speed, the system can detect pedestrians on the road ahead or sidewalks, if detected. When a collision is likely to occur, the vehicle will issue an alarm and display warning information on the instrument, etc. When the driver does not respond to the alarm, the system will automatically activate the maximum braking to minimize accidents.
“Whether it is walking or driving, people are always distracted, especially in busy and crowded urban streets,” said Trevor Worthington, vice president of product development for Ford Asia Pacific, “as the driver needs to predict the road ahead. The situation, which makes them more nervous, such as when encountering people on the road while walking and looking down at the mobile phone, our autopilot assistive technology helps people to ease travel pressures, and ultimately these technologies will make their driving safer and more enjoyable.
The Ford Co-Pilot360TM driving assistance system also includes the ACC full-speed intelligent adaptive cruise control system and smart pilot assistance system. After the ACC full-speed intelligent adaptive cruise control is started, it can automatically control the vehicle's throttle, steering and braking, automatically. The follow-up function can be automatically accelerated or decelerated according to the change of the preceding vehicle condition to keep the vehicle at a preset safety distance. The smart piloting assistance system can keep the vehicle safely in the middle of the respective lane; even if the system starts up, the driver still needs to Put your hands on the steering wheel, otherwise the vehicle will sound an alarm tone.
The power of innovation and technology
Ford Motor Co., Ltd. will continue to focus on R&D and innovation of driver assistance technology. For the next five years, Ford will invest 500 million U.S. dollars worldwide to increase the research and development of new driver assistance and safety technologies. It is about how to make people use these technologies more conveniently, especially when the degree of automation of vehicle control is getting higher and higher.
Researchers at Ford Motor Company used VIRTTEX driving simulator in Dearborn, USA, to conduct user experience testing for a number of new technologies and to run the new system through a series of simulation results. These simulation results are based on testing in the US hundreds of thousands of kilometers. For example, Ford engineers recently conducted about 1.04 million kilometers of driving tests on a series of in-vehicle radar and camera system technologies across the United States.
This work is very important because the test results will help consumers build confidence in self-driving cars. According to the 2018 Ford Trends Report, 83% of Chinese respondents said they are optimistic about the future of self-driving vehicles.
'Many question the concept of self-driving cars,' said Jim Farley. 'But we have found that today's owners who use smart driver assistance technology have a more open attitude toward fully autonomous driving for future vehicles.'
Previously, Ford Motor Co. has been focusing on testing new driver assistance technologies. For example, in the Shanghai International Auto City National Intelligent Network Alliance Automotive (Shanghai) Pilot Demonstration Area, Ford began testing the ACC full-speed intelligent adaptive cruise control system and intelligence in early 2017. Pilot Assist Systems. By testing these technologies on simulated real traffic conditions and even on some of the most congested real roads in the world, Ford will accelerate the pace of research, development, testing and validation of advanced technologies to help China and Drivers in other markets around the world ease traffic pressures and optimize traffic flow.
'We have been thinking about problems from the perspective of consumer demand, and constantly developing new technologies to meet future traffic challenges. We are passionate about this job,' Wei Shengting said, 'We are currently testing new driver assistance technologies. This will help us to ultimately provide drivers with a more enjoyable driving experience and thus make their lives easier.
