'Ford has claimed that it will be mass-producing a self-driving car by 2021. '
'Ford’s announcement that the production planned for 2021 will be of cars without steering wheels or pedals is particularly interesting considering the currently federalisation of laws on autonomous driving in the United States. ', "The Michigan-based multinational’s president and CEO, Mark Fields, has informed a Palo Alto audience that the business would be selling cars without steering wheels or pedals in five years' time."
'In particular, California’s draft regulations [PDF] require the presence of “a driver who is capable of taking control of the vehicle when needed”. '
'Ford expects that it will be testing self-driving Fusion Hybrid cars on the roads in Arizona, California and Michigan later this year, while doubling the size of its recently opened Palo Alto research facility to 260 employees by the end of next year. ®'
