The 2017 Ford Fusion, arriving in Levittown this spring, will be the first of the Ford lineup to offer adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability.
What does this mean?
It means stop-and-go traffic is about to get a lot easier on your ankles.
Normally -- before it became the future -- you set your cruise control and the car goes one speed. If traffic slows down, you have to tap the brakes. If traffic is continually slowing and speeding, and stopping and starting, as traffic is wont to do, then you can pretty much forget about cruise control.
Not only is this kind of annoying, it can be hard on your feet to keep switching pedals every five seconds.
The 2017 Fusion hopes to change all that. Simply set cruise control, and the car will drive at either that set speed, or maintain a safe following distance behind the car in front of it -- whatever speed that may be. If the car in front stops, your Fusion stops too. When the traffic starts up again, the Fusion goes with it.
Meanwhile, you just sit back and enjoy steering. Maybe pat yourself on the back for choosing such a smart car. Way to go, you.
