Ford Announces Co-Pilot360 Safety Tech Suite

So, what is it? “In North America, Ford Co-Pilot360 is the most advanced suite of standard driver-assist technologies among full-line brands,” said a Ford representative in an email to The Drive. “[Co-Pilot360] includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot information system, lane keeping system, rear backup camera and auto high beam lighting.”

Many of those features are already available on Ford vehicles as options, but having them packaged together is a good way to get all of the safety tech you need that can actually save your life. The best part is, all of this safety tech won’t cost you a bunch of extra money. “This package will be standard on all passenger cars, SUVs and include F-150,” said Ford.

That means you’ll be able to go to a Ford dealer, buy the cheapest new car on the lot, and get advanced safety tech like automatic emergency braking and lane keeping assist without costing an extra dime. Ford is joining a growing number of automakers putting a big priority on safety and using technology to make our roads safer not just for Ford drivers, but for everybody.
