Ford Edge team member Cristina Aquino tells us about the Ford Co-Pilot360 Technology™ in the new 2019 Ford Edge. This technology can help you stay on track with driver-assist technologies to potentially avoid collisions using BLIS(r) (Blind Spot Information System)* with Cross-Traffic Alert**.
*Available BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) uses radar located in the rear of the vehicle to identify a vehicle entering the blind spot and alerts the driver with an indicator light in the sideview mirror. Cross-traffic alert also uses radar to watch for traffic behind when slowly backing out of a parking spot or driveway. If it detects a vehicle approaching from the side, it sends an audible warning, an indicator light flashes in the side-view mirror, and an alert in the message center.
**The Lane Keeping System can warn the driver if it detects the vehicle leaving its lane without the turn signal activated. The Lane Keeping System consists of two components, the Lane Keeping Alert and the Lane Keeping Aid.
†This available feature can detect a potential collision with pedestrians and vehicles ahead. It’s designed to help reduce the severity of and, in some cases, eliminate frontal collisions altogether. If the system’s sensors detect a potential collision with a car or pedestrian ahead, a warning flashes and an alert sound. If the driver’s response is not sufficient, the system can automatically apply the brakes to help prevent or potentially reduce the severity of a frontal collision.
Over 100 years ago, we were talking about the Model T. Now here we are talking about J.D. Power awards, driver-assist technology* and SYNC(r) Connect.** Back to building.

Ford Smart Mobility, LLC acquires Spin, a San Francisco-based electric scooter-sharing company that provides customers with an alternative for first- and last-mile transportation
The acquisition of Spin is the latest strategic move by Ford in the mobility space, as the company builds a mobility portfolio to help customers get places more easily, more quickly and less expensively
Scooters allow cities to offer an equitable last mile solution to their residents thanks to the relative affordability. Combined with ease of use and electrified power, scooters can also help reduce urban traffic congestion, parking limitations, and pollution
The number of mobility options available to people has risen dramatically in recent years. In some situations, people use multiple forms of transportation during a single trip. The fast-paced, often experimental mobility sector requires businesses to keep up with agile and adaptable customers. At Ford, the products and services we offer need to reflect these changes.
Today, we are excited to be accelerating our efforts to provide micro-mobility solutions with the acquisition of Spin, a dockless electric scooter sharing company based in San Francisco. Spin is a leading micro-mobility service provider, with operations in 13 cities and campuses across the US.
Spin is committed to working hand-in-hand with cities and universities to implement micro-mobility solutions responsibly, safely and sustainably as they expand their operations. They do not launch without permission; they share usage data with cities; and they work with local officials and university campuses to design educational tools around parking and riding rules. This approach aligns well with our values at Ford and with our aspiration to be the world’s most trusted company.
