Good to hear Ford aren't resting on their laurels and such.

Mulally is determined to make Ford a success, future-proof it from GM-type troubles, and maybe even knock Toyota off it's lofty perch. :evil_laug

Nice read,
good to see Ford using the technology to cope with real life situations, who would have thought to make sure the airbags don't deploy after collision with a pushbike or a thrown ball. I like the water canon idea too
