Ford Ford Motor Company has applied to the US Patent and Trademark Office for a design patent on May 20 18, which is about the structural design of extending the windshield to the roof.
It is said to be inspired by Tesla's model? Panoramic windshield design of x.
This structure is obviously applied to Mustang Mustang sports car, which makes the windshield extend to the front seat.
This is a sports car! What if the body is stiff? Ford's method is to add a pair of strong roof beams to the roof, which are connected by two opposite arcuate parts to share the impact force in the event of collision.
Although the patent drawing uses Mustang as a demonstration, I don't know if Ford will really use this design for production models.
However, although the vision is broadened and the sense of science and technology is stronger, this design will still be seriously spurned by female customers without good sun protection. This is a lesson from the past. Have you tried modeling? Girls from X or Xpeng Motors have criticized this design.
