Ford’s Curve Contol Safety (?) System

More people are talking about Ford’s new Curve Control Safety System, planned for release in 2011.

Last week CarGurus.com was worried about the potential safety risk of this system, designed to adjust the speed at which drivers take curves. Ford hopes this will help to eliminate some 50,000 mishaps every year. T Griffith at Car Gurus is worried that the system will misinterpret the driver’s intentions and intervene when it should have left well enough alone. A valid worry: read his article to get the full picture.

Today, Automoblog has offered its opinion. Instead of talking about the risk, they seem to think this is most
beneficial to people who maybe shouldn’t be driving in the first place. Check out their candid and rather funny comments here. If nothing else, it’s a great example of typing while muttering under your breath.
