miles per gallon in an off-the-showroom floor, non-modified 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid, nearly doubling its EPA rating. Not only does this demonstrate the Fusion Hybrid’s fuel efficiency, it also shows that driving technique is one of the keys to maximizing its potential.” The Fusion Hybrid 1,000-Mile Challenge started on 25 April.
Of crucial importance in this respect is the networking of all systems, or “sensor fusion”. PRE-SAFE Brake can detect pedestrians and initiate autonomous braking to avoid a collision at speeds up to 50 km/h (31 mph). Any speed between 30 km/h (19 mph) and 200 km/h can be selected as the desired cruising speed.

On highways and multi-lane motorways with a physical barrier separating the two directions of traffic, the Audi AI traffic jam pilot takes over the driving task in slow-moving traffic up to 60 km/h (37.3
These systems work together through sensor fusion to create a sensory field around the vehicle that assists in keeping it centered in the lane while elevating the driver’s comfort and convenience. Super Cruise accelerates or brakes the vehicle to maintain a selected following gap from a vehicle ahead and steers to maintain lane position.
Taking advantage of Continental’s sensor fusion technology as part of the ContiGuard safety concept, the vehicle is able to track all objects as they enter into the sensors’ field of view. The systematic networking with driver information and drive systems is gradually advancing the concept toward its goal.
” The Department of Energy details that fuel economy is reduced by 1% for every mile per hour above 55 mph. It also is being tested on Escape and Fusion. With the new Crew Chief powered by Telogis, additional driver behavior information is offered to fleet managers, including “speed against posted speed limits.”
C-MAX Hybrid is targeted to deliver better fuel economy than the 41 mpg Ford Fusion Hybrid, the most fuel-efficient sedan in America today. It builds on the powersplit architecture Ford uses in its current hybrids, allowing it to operate in fuel-saving electric mode beyond 47 mph (76 km/h).
