Ford is working on creating a safety feature that will protect children during an accident. It is commonly known that airbags are not as safe for children as they are for adults. Because of this Ford developed a prototype dummy – that is built the same way as a six year old child – and is using it to improve the safety.
Ford will be unveiling the new Ford Ka next week in Sao Paulo, Brazil. You may not have to wait that long though to see what the new model looks like.
The Ka – for the Brazilian market – is ditching its current design for something a bit more mainstream. Whereas the current car is electric and full of round shapes and curvy lines, the new one is much more traditional with large headlamps and conventional fender flares at each corner.
