Potholes are appearing across Europe
at a faster rate than many governments can repair them
and they don't just make journeys uncomfortable.
Harsh impacts with severe potholes,
can also damage your car
and leave you with hefty repair bills.
Ford is helping a limit the impact of damaged roads
for drivers of the all-new Ford Focus.
By introducing
pothole detection technology.
The system senses when wheels fall into a pothole
and adjust the suspension
to stop them falling far into it
dramatically limiting the harsh impact on vehicle and occupants.
It then sends a signal to the rear suspension
so that it's prepared in advance
to help protect the wheels from the hazard.
Ford developed the system on some of the worst public roads in Europe
and on a specially created test track
with precise replicas of potholes
and road hazards from around the world
that mirror daily driving scenarios
Ford owners might encounter.
