David Hatton reads a letter, "Dear Ford, I live in rural central Texas. I cannot remember the events of the accident that nearly killed me..."

He trails off, eyes growing red. "This one's actually emotional for me," he gives a pained laugh.

Hatton and his team at Ford's Global Emergency Services get letters regularly from Ford drivers whose lives were saved by SYNC 911 Assist. It was the first emergency system that could place a call directly to 911, rather than going through a call center first.

We here at Fred Beans Ford Lincoln certainly know a lot about the lineup of vehicles from our favorite American automaker but, when it comes to appreciating the extras, we leave it to the extras to explain. Rather, we should clarify, Ford has made a series of videos where movie extras tell us about the extra features and conveniences in different models. For this one, a fantasy movie extra talks about the Ford Fusion.

Getting the most from your driving experience can sometimes mean having less, and our favorite American automaker wants to continue towards achieving that goal. It's called the "Carryless Movement" and it means having less gadgets and technologies on your person.
