I really do not know if we are driving more useless than before, or if the stability system really make us safer drivers. For the traction and stability control, now adds a new security system that Ford is improving for domestic version of the next generation of the Explorer in the U.S.: the control curve.
What makes the control curve is to prevent an SUV with a center of gravity higher than normal, when tipping a curve too fast. The idea is that, using the data monitored by the stability control, cornering control intelligently apply brakes if needed and that there is a sharp cut power to the rear.
At the same time, the desperate driver applies the brakes more than necessary, the braking force is distributed electronically. The two wheels on the inside of the curve will get more braking force, while the others slow down a little less. According to Ford, this technique would help the vehicle to turn without losing stability and can stop about 16 km / h in 1 second.
It seems that the only drawback is that the vehicle will achieve prevent oversteer, not understeer. If not you crash into the oncoming curve out, you'll do against a tree outside of the curve, if you have a little care. Electronic systems are not everything, they help, but the responsibility remains of who leads.Source URL: https://maryelizabeth-winstead.blogspot.com/2010/06/curve-control-new-system-for-2011-ford.html
