While Ford has been developing a young hit warning arrangement , they ’ve decided that there are crummy , safer style to the R&D than smashing eternal piles of cars into one another .
rather , Ford uses full - sized balloon vehicles — inflatable pretend cars that can be crashed into with no resulting damage ( to either the crasher or the crashee ) . They ’ve been custom made for the company , which is no big surprise since they are n’t incisively off the ledge toy ( yet ) .
Each of Ford ’s dozen or so balloon cost $ 10,000 and do to press but 40 pounds . When splattered with a number of metal pigment , Ford ’s collision espial system sees the balloon as any other car to be quash on the road — and if for some reason the system fails to see anything , well , you have another sport biz of car association football . Hopefully Ford has n’t been scoring too many goal , if you bed what I ’m suppose . [ detnewsviaNewLaunches ]
