Ford develops new "vibrating" Shift knob as a shift point indicator

Ford Social: Video Game Technology for the Ford Mustang

Apparently this will be an upcoming option for new mustangs.....

Might actually work better than a shift light if its done properly.

I see the new mustang being very popular with women....

Safe to say that more women are gonna buy Mustangs and more accidents will happen?

Looks like Kat is gonna "jump" into one if this happens :lol1::dancenana:

Caddy's new vibrating seats > Ford's vibrating shift knob.

Will it warn you when it's gonna lock you out of gear? Fancy tech attached to dysfunctional junkbox trans still sucks.

Touché :beer: I hope they come with self absorsbing seats as well ;-)

Shhh….. You're gonna start a flamewar with 20+ pages on how the tranny works perfectly fine :lol1:

I think Caddy will have it first since it's "Haptic", just like their world's worst display screen technology.

And of course it will be integrated into the entire shifting mechanism, which will undoubtedly have an ugly, uncomfortable knob. Therefore making any after market swap an expensive change that will also require 10 hours of wiring mods.

More stupid crap from the same know nothings who brought you micrsoft sync.

Have you driven a new ATS? That thing made me almost hate the interior on my CTS-V. Such an improvement.

I suppose its good for those who cant drive...

Hopefully its only an option because i have no use for that.

If they are smart they will let you disable it.

I could see it being a nice feature if its not just for WOT driving, if it gives you suggested shift times based on throttle input and driving conditions to get the best mileage. That would annoy me less than a stupid ass shift light.

I never looked when I shifted normally. I could always tell by the sound of my exhaust.
