Automated Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection One of the most advanced safety features in the industry, Ford's automated emergency braking system, was designed with one objective in mind: to save lives. The system uses state-of-the-art technology to actively scan the road and can automatically engage the brakes in the event of an emergency. The system can even detect pedestrians on the road and brake autonomously to avoid colliding with them, which significantly decreases the odds of a life-threatening accident. more 2. Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist Another world-class safety system in the new F-150 is the lane departure warning system which can notify drivers who have been accidentally drifting out of their lanes. Given that unintentional drifting is one of the leading causes of accidents on America's interstates, it's safe to say that this system will indeed save lives.

The system can detect the speed of the vehicle ahead and automatically keep pace with them from a safe following distance, meaning that if they slow down, so will the F-150 and when they speed back up, the F-150 will as well, while still abiding by the speed limit at all times. 4. 12-Inch HD Touchscreen Infotainment Console with Sync4 The F-150 comes with a standard 8-inch infotainment display, but the new 12-inch HD display is an upgrade that's well worth the investment. Not only does the system allow drivers to check diagnostics on the fly, but it also comes with the improved Sync4 infotainment system, which offers navigation, music, video, and much more so that both drivers and passengers alike can enjoy the best entertainment in the industry. 5. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Integration If the Sync4 system doesn't happen to have your favorite playlist, then don't fret.
