When it comes to pushing boundaries, Ford is no stranger to being a little over-the-top. But this time, they’re being a little more literal than usual.
Their latest invention, the super-easy-to-say “Redundant Vehicle Controls Based on User Presence and Position,” would allow Bronco owners to stand above the windshield and outside the vehicle to gain a better view while driving.
Theoretically, safeguards will be built in to make driving from this position safe and practical, with Ford explicitly mentioning limited acceleration and utilizing micro-sensors to help manage torque and steering. The new controls will analyze metrics like incline and pitch while leveraging Ford’s existing GOAT (Go Over Any Thing) off-road driving system. 🐐
