> Industrial News > News   New Ford Mirror Design and Radar System to Minimize Blind Spot Risk   Ford is actively addressing drivers’ demands for increased visibility with the introduction of two new features, the Blind Spot Mirror and the Cross Traffic Alert with Blind-Spot Monitoring System. The Blind Spot Mirror features an integrated convex spotter mirror aimed directly at the vehicle’s blind spot. This affordable mirror technology will first launch early next year and find its way onto many future Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles as standard equipment. The Cross Traffic Alert with Blind Spot Monitoring System is a radar-based blind spot detection system with the additional capability to help customers confidently back out of a parking space even when there is traffic approaching from the sides. The optional system will join the Ford portfolio of innovative technologies in 2009 and quickly migrate through the model lineup.   Time:2008-04-28 Source:NaviForum Shanghai News Center Relative
