Ford's Lane Change Technology

Fords new three-blink lane change technology gives drivers a way to avoid an annoyance on the road with a simple flick of the indicator that turns off automatically. It is simplifying the way drivers maneuver on the road. With a simple flick of the switch either up or down, depending on which lane the driver is moving into the turn indicator will blink three times and automatically shut off. The switch can be held in the lane change position longer for additional blinks beyond the three minimum. Going on sale in the summer of 2010, the all-new Ford Fiesta is among the first vehicles in the Ford lineup to receive the new three-blink technology. The annoyance avoidance feature is yet another technology going into the expressive, fun-to-drive Fiesta that makes perfect sense.

I'm fine with a blinker that doesn't need a computer to function, thank you very much.

Nope, you push it all the way for longer blinks I think.

This Driver and FORD are morons. You don't change lanes and Indicate at the SAME time. It's unsage and actually defeats the purpose of using an indicator, think about it?!?!?

This feature isn't new...my parents '07 Tahoe does this too.

yeah, nice new feature.... but only in America... in the rest of the world (like say in Europe) it's been used for only the past 30 years or thereabout
