New Ford Focus, twenty years from the original still full of technology

It was back in 1998 when the first Ford Focus debuted in Europe, only to arrive in North America two years later; on board the front airbags and the standard ABS appeared for the first time on all the available versions, while among the options there were air conditioning, radio with cd player, electric windows and - in the most equipped versions - also on-board computer and seats with thermal regulation. Twenty years (and sixteen million models sold) later, Ford launched the fourth generation of its Focus; presented in London this April, the new Focus hides two decades of technological innovation under the bodywork. In 2018 there are no more airbags and window regulators to make the difference on a car, but assisted driving systems, three hundred and sixty degree connectivity, adaptive headlights and Head-Up displays - technologies of which the last sedan came out of the Blue Oval house It is extremely well equipped.

First of all, the car is equipped with the Co-Pilot 360 driver assistance system, a vast array of technologies that make the driving experience even safer than ever before. During the journey, the system combines Adaptive Cruise Control with the recognition of road signs (with relative respect for current speed limits), the maintenance of the safety distance from vehicles and the maintenance of the vehicle in the lane; bottled in traffic, the system brakes and automatically restarts, avoiding rear-end collisions caused by distractions; when parking, it can finally take control of the vehicle and, with the gear in neutral and with the pressure of a single key from the driver, place it in L or S in the most impervious parking areas, even on slopes and out

Europe, here's the map of high technology. How is the hi-tech measured?

صورة
If out of curiosity we are interested in understanding where high technology is most widespread in Europe, the levels to be used are two, that is, by intensity or by groups.  Everyone tells us a different story: on the one hand we discover where the regions are located where high-tech work represents a more - or less - large part of all the existing places. On the other hand, we find the nucleuses that collect a large number of total high tech workers.  The difference, for example, is the one that passes between the Madrid area and the south-east of Ireland. In both the European Statistical Institute has estimated that just under one worker every ten is employed in a high-tech sector, but between the two passes a not very small difference of about 100 thousand employed in the field. This, of course, expresses a difference not only because high technology matters in one area or another, but also in the overall population that lives in those regions.  If we enter th
