How can the Ford Taurus be considered a widely popular full-size sedan each year? Maybe it has something to do with a few of these technology features.

Once you set the Adaptive Cruise Control system in the new Ford Taurus, watch what happens after you get rolling. Any time the cruise control system scans a car moving too slow in front of you, the system slows down the car automatically until clear, then will get the car back up to the desired speed again.

In Colma, accidents happen all the time due to negligent drivers being so distracted by their iPhones. Despite regulations calling for hands-free interfaces, none of the attempts by third parties have been all that elegant.
