I'm for this trend so long as they take it slow. There is a bit of confusion in the article, as they say no steering wheel or brake pedal, yet they want the person to be able to take control of the vehicle. :haha:

Ford has been working this for over a decade ...now making some serious investments now to commercialize fully autonomous vehicles with commitment to volume production.


Vehicles with no steering wheel, gas nor brake pedals available in production numbers for ride-share, etc by 2021 !!


Partnered with and/or bought several key technology companies...
