Automatic Lane Change

Driver‑Facing Camera
To help ensure your eyes stay on the road while your hands are off the wheel, a driver‑facing camera tracks eye gaze and head position. This driver‑monitoring system adds an additional level of confirmation that you’re engaged and ready to resume control at any moment.*
360° Perception
External sensors monitor the environment around your Explorer to help keep you centered in your lane at a set distance from other vehicles.*
