Ford CEO says Blue Cruise will be L3, or eyes-off, hands-off, on highways, up to 80 mph, only in good weather, by 2026. Sounds like an Elon FSD promise. LOL.

“We’re getting really close,” Farley said in a May 31 interview with Bloomberg TV’s David Westin. “We can do it now pretty regularly with a prototype, but doing it in a cost-effective way is just the progress we’re going to need to make.”
“Level 3 autonomy will allow you to go hands and eyes off the road on the highway in a couple years so then your car becomes like an office,” Farley said. “You could do a conference call and all sorts of stuff.”
Farley suggested Ford’s system would operate at speeds of up to 80 miles per hour on the highway, but only under clear skies.
“We only think we can do it on sunny days,” Farley said. “Heavy rain and stuff makes it difficult to do it at 80 miles an hour.”
