Autonomous Vehicles (AV) Almost Here. In fact, it IS here...

FORD invested 1 BILLION into this:  Driving NOW in Florida.

The only thing holding this technology back from widespread adoption, is the main stream news and the journalists and pundits who spread disinformation in the form of fear mongering the tech. To. Get. Headlines. The fact is, this AV and auto tech just is NOT dangerous. It is safe. ANYTHING is safer than what we now have: young inexperienced drivers, drunk drivers, aggressive risk taking drivers, and distracted drivers. These kind of drivers are directly responsible for over 99% of the fatalities on the road today.  NOT the technology. Not AV.  The HUMAN drivers that are out there who DECIDE to speed, to drive drunk, to text, and who let themselves get angry at others and do stupid things, causing accidents.  These are the ones who cause 40,000 fatalities every year, and the Federal Governments NHSTA databases on accidents and cause bear this out.

NOT a Retrofit AV.  A completely NEW from the BOTTOM UP AV... Ford
Rolling out in 2021 for consumers.
