We've all experienced that sudden gust of wind that threatens to yank an open car door from our grasp or struggled while trying to open a door with one hand while holding items in the other. To fix these issues, Ford’s interior design team changed the design of the door handle, incorporating the release into the handle itself.

We’ve all been in a car when someone’s opened a window for some fresh air, and suddenly it feels as if your ear drums are about to explode. This ear-thumping thunder is known colloquially as window buffeting or window throb, or ‘close that window now, my ears are about to explode’, but its scientific description is Helmholtz resonance. The ‘throb’ occurs when one vehicle window is lowered only and can usually be stopped by lowering another window on the opposite side of the vehicle. But why does it happen?

The reason for this, according to some reports, are fatigue related, a lack of night-driving experience and the reduced times to react, or recovery from glare after being dazzled by bright lights.
