The driver still shifts the transmission and operates the gas and brake pedals. · A visual and/or audible driver interface advises the driver about the proximity of other cars, objects and people and provides instructions. · While the steering is all done automatically, the driver remains responsible for safe parking and can interrupt the system by grasping the steering wheel. Active Park Assist is enabled by Ford's advanced Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) technology. By 2012, Ford plans to fit nearly 90 percent of the Ford, Lincoln and Mercury lineup with EPAS. As Ford introduces EPAS in more vehicles, it will be able to offer Active Parking Assist in more models. In addition, Ford is working on using EPAS and other sensors for other smart technologies, including one that could prevent a vehicle from drifting out of lane on the highway. The Lincoln MKS sedan went on sale this summer and the new Lincoln MKT seven-passenger luxury crossover will be available after it debuts at the 2009 North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January.
