A new system has been developed by Ford to prevent accidents and keep drivers safe.

According to the reports, the automaker designed Ford’s Active City Stop to scan the road about 50 times every second for probable hazards or hurdles that could eventually pose a risk to the driver. The company has stated that the new system will trigger the brake system if it detects that a vehicle ahead has stopped and the driver fails to slow down or stop in time.

By adding this new system to the new Fiesta models available in Europe, drivers may be safer by having a system that will stop the vehicle if he or she fails to do so, reports show.
