In the 21st century, technology has advanced considerably. It is the digital age, and computers of all types and sizes are becoming more and more proficient. This advance in technology is not limited to a certain field; instead, these changes are evident throughout the industrial world. Among those featuring technology upgrades is the automotive industry.
Ford has been at the top of the automotive industry when it comes to technology. The company has constantly operated under an atmosphere of innovation. It is this innovation that has allowed Ford to remain at the top and continue developing advanced vehicles. The company is now integrating Artificial Intelligence into the fleet.
The new 2019 Ford Edge, as well as the ST model, will feature a new artificial intelligence system. This system is new to the company and is called all-wheel-drive-disconnect. The system is designed to automatically switch between two-wheel and all-wheel drives when the situation warrants it.
All-wheel-drive-disconnect can make the change from driving modes much faster than the human driver can. It is able to do this through the use of sensors throughout the vehicle; once it is determined that all-wheel drive is needed, the vehicle automatically changes modes. In addition to providing a smoother drive, the technology is estimated to help lower fuel consumption. As Ford’s technology advances, so does its vehicles.
