Ford's new patent for controls that allows an off-roader to be controlled while the driver is standing looks fun, but could be dangerous in a roll over car auto cars
. “The driver may find this position to be advantageous in order to obtain a better view of certain parts of the vehicle during off-roading.”The system would offer redundant controls that the driver could use when the vehicle is in a “selected driving mode.” Using sensors, it would ensure that despite not being seated, the driver is still in the vehicle, and not abusing other driver aids.
Indeed, many modern vehicles keep an eye on the position of their driver to ensure that they are still in control. Ford points out that certain features, such as hill assist, which applies the brakes to prevent a vehicle from backsliding on a hill or trail control, are deactivated if the car believes the driver is out of position, making this sensor important.
If nothing else, the feature could also be useful if you have to hook up a trailer by yourself. Whether that’s enough to convince invest more money in this idea remains to be seen, but I bet it would feel pretty cool to drive a Bronco while standing, even if it’s a little dangerous.
