Ford has recently revealed a groundbreaking driver assistance feature known as Exit Warning which will become available on all 2024 Ford Mustang models. This revolutionary technology will be unveiled this summer with the primary goal of fostering road safety and safeguarding vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians, cyclists, and scooter riders.
Exit Warning, equipped with its radar, identifies vulnerable road users traveling at a minimum speed of 4 miles per hour, approximately one-third the average speed of a cyclist. While the Mustang is parked, the rear-mounted radar diligently scans the surroundings. When a vulnerable road user approaches the Mustang, an intelligent system activates to preemptively caution the driver.
Should the radar detect an approaching vulnerable road user, one who could potentially be endangered when the door opens, the driver is instantly alerted through a fusion of audio and visual cues integrated via Ford SYNC, the Mustang's sophisticated infotainment system. These warnings dynamically manifest on the instrument cluster and side mirrors, ensuring optimal visibility and comprehension.
Even after the ignition has been turned off, this technologically advanced Exit Warning system remains vigilant for up to three minutes. It steadfastly continues to provide audio and visual alerts, ever watchful through the instrument cluster and touch screen, leaving no room for oversight or complacency.
With cycling accidents peaking between June and September, it is paramount to prioritize the safety of those who choose alternative modes of transportation or leisurely commutes. In response to this imperative need, Ford's innovative approach culminates in the 2024 Mustang's Exit Warning feature, a testament to their unwavering commitment to safeguarding all road users.
Ford consistently pioneers advanced safety technologies, ensuring that every journey is a protected and reassuring experience. Exit Warning exemplifies Ford’s unwavering dedication to promoting harmony between vehicles and vulnerable road users, revolutionizing the concept of road safety in the process.
