Ford Safety Leadership
Throughout its 100-year history, Ford has led the way in life-saving features, pioneering affordable safety advancements such as seat belts for the mass market. Today, Ford Motor Company is a safety leader with the most top-safety-rated vehicles of any automaker.
Ford also led the shift to multiple-deployment air bags in the 1990s and introduced the most unique stability control system in the world in the early 2000s. Ford is also building on its safety leadership by increasingly addressing driver behavior and broadening its efforts from crash protection to “active” collision-avoidance technologies.
The new, innovative MyKey technology, which debuts as a standard feature on the 2010 Ford Focus will quickly rolls out across the lineup. It is designed to help parents encourage their teen-agers to drive safer, more fuel efficiently, and to increase safety-belt usage. Collision Warning with Brake Support, an advanced collision avoidance technology that uses ford-safety radar to detect the most common accidents – rear-end collisions – will be available on certain Ford and Lincoln vehicles in 2009.

Yes, my essay is about a car but a car that has changed my life. This vehicle created a bond between my father and myself that can never be broken. Like I said before, this started when I was really young but it changed my life forever.

The Ford Explorer has been a part of my life for almost 8 years. And while I have had the option to purchase a newer vehicle, my faith has never waivered in its reliability or worthiness. Over the years I have learned to appreciate the vehicle for more just the sum of its parts. The entire concept of Explorer drives my life\'s motivation to continue to reach out and push the boundaries of life itself.
