Low speed front-to-rear collisions are one of the most common accidents in urban traffic; they can happen at traffic lights, intersections, roundabouts and other stop-start driving situations, and you don't have to be travelling fast to get infured. Even at very low speeds you can suffer soft tissue neck injury.
First launched on Ford Focus last year, Active City Stop is now being launched on a compact Ford vehicle for the first time. It monitors traffic ahead and applies the brakes if it detects a collision with a vehicle in front is imminent.
The system was awarded an Advanced reward by Euro NCAP last year.
