UNBELIEVABLE: Ford releases self driving car technology with approval for uk roads - The Untold Story

Ford has released “hands-off, eyes-on” driver-assistance technology in the UK, with full Department of Transport approval for use on select UK highways — 2,300 miles of pre-mapped motorways in England, Scotland, and Wales, designated as “Blue Zones”.

The subscription technology, called Ford BlueCruise, will initially only be available for 2023 models of Ford’s all-electric Mustang Mach-E SUV. The vehicle, which has a maximum speed of 80 mph, uses five radars to detect and track the position and speed of other vehicles on the road, according to Ford.
