Ford has stated that the Mach E will come with level 2 autonomy, but will have the hardware capable level 3 driving. Ford has also stated level 3 will come via OTA once ready (no timeline given, and whether it’s free or if they charge you like Tesla has not been said). Unlike Teslas nag that requires you to touch the wheel every few seconds, the Ford nag has cameras that watch your eyes to ensure your paying attention to the road. No need to touch the wheel.
Personally, I hate the thought of full self-driving. Sure, they have a place where the passenger is physically impaired, but for everyone else it must remain a choice.
I have over 3/4 of a million miles driving time, and that control and exhilaration is lost if the cars drive themselves. With FSD, No need to worry about acceleration times, horsepower, torque, etc. They will never accelerate quickly, always have reduced speeds, rarely change lanes, blah blah blah. Cars will become tiny living-rooms in small, rolling boxes.
Can you say ’boring’?
