(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Ford CEO Mark Fields is specific about his claim to put an autonomous car on the road by 2021.
He says in yesterday's video that this car will be "level 4" on the autonomous scale, which means that the car is driving itself but the driver must be in the driver seat and ready to take over in an emergency. "Level 5" would mean that the driver can "disengage (like, go to sleep)".
As I wrote in posts last fall (here and here), a level 5 autonomous car is thought to be much further out in the future compared to level 4 which is Ford's goal for their billion-dollar investment.
Ford Motor Co. has another interesting story to tell, this one not about their cars but rather about their employees . .
(to be cont'd next Monday)
