Default Focus auto braking

Just saw an advert for the new focus and it's fancy gadgets. I have to say I'm impressed but I would have thought Volvo would of paitened the auto brake technology like ford have with their headed front screens...

Or maybe ford might share?

Don't/didn't Ford own a large part of Vulvo?

Its bound to go wrong eventually and the car will get stuck on a motorway or somewhere just as inconvenient.

I doubt Ford of Volvo actually made the software that controls it. Most large companies now outsource a lot of their software development these days.

It is interesting anyway. They do have auto braking on airliners these days and it seems to work well enough.
