Default PICS: 2011 Ford Explorer shows off Curve Control

From AB

*****

When the new 2011 Explorer goes on sale later this year, Ford plans to
highlight the new unibody 'ute's safety and fuel efficiency. The
Explorer will be exclusively powered by four- and six-cylinder
EcoBoost engines, which are expected to increase efficiency by 20-25
percent, while delivering the power consumers crave. Expect more
drivetrain details to be forthcoming, but before then, Ford invited
us out to its Dearborn proving grounds to see what it has in store on
the safety front.

Ford confirmed last fall that the Explorer would be the first vehicle
to get its new inflatable rear seat-belts, but the latest – and
arguably more interesting – feature on the Explorer is dubbed
"Curve Control." The system is a software enhancement built
on top of the existing roll stability control (RSC) and electronic
stability control (ESC) systems.
