It will appear on the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/fiesta">Fiesta</a> this summer, and then migrate to other vehicles in the 2011 line-up, starting with the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/24/2011-ford-super-duty-debuts-at-texas-state-fair-with-two-new-eng/">Super Duty</a> series. <br /> <br /> The three-blink feature is not as polarizing as the placement of paddle shifters, but people are known to have their opinions. This writer likes it, preferring a mistaken tap to someone flashing their turn signal eternally. You can read Ford's release after the jump, and sound off on the new convenience - or not - in the comments.<br /> <br /> [Source: <a href="http://www.at.ford.com/news/cn/Pages/ThreeBlinksandIt%27sOff;NewFordLaneChangeTechnologyHelpsEaseDriverPetPeeves.aspx">Ford</a>]<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/29/ford-adding-three-blink-function-to-turn-signals/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Ford adding three-blink function to turn signals</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/29/ford-adding-three-blink-function-to-turn-signals/">Ford adding three-blink function to turn signals</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Tue, 29 Dec 2009 18:32:00 EST.
