Ford rolls out UK’s first hands-free driving tech and first-of-its-kind system approved in Europe
Maybe self-driving cars are not that far off after all. Ford announced today that it has become the first automaker...electrek.co
his software isn't fit for purpose
Well, there’s your problem.I never use a/c
I disagree. As soon as I use a/c (in Tesla only, other EV's no problem) I get huge swings in humidity. I've had the inside of the windscreen / shield dripping with condensation on one occasion.Well, there’s your problem.
The problem here is that Ford are a bit confused over future strategy. They have indicated they wish to withdraw from the "small car" market. But they have announced a BEV version of the Puma, which is small?Oh what an embarrassment for Tesla - They led the way for so many years and indeed the only manufacturer that claimed full self driving and leader in software development.
We all knew other manufacturers would get up to speed at some point - and i suspect the Ford system will be full of flaws too - but they are making the news - its high profile publicity - something that Tesla dominated for many years, but its fantastic progress that another marque has its name attached to greater driver assistance systems - perhaps Twitter will take a less dominant role and a bit more focus towards Tesla will ensue.
Ford have a big customer base in the UK and in the eyes of many customers Ford is seen as a British company simply because of the years of production in the UK. They have a reputation for building cars that people want - and indeed I have had 10 Fords over the last 45 years. All were perhaps middle of the road but loaded with gadgets that made them desirable as I usually bought the Ghia models or equivalent.
I for one would be very interested in an all electric Ford of a similar size to the Focus that is fully loaded (Don't like SUVs) and indeed they would get my order.
I have said previously, I do love my M3P but will never buy another Tesla due to the penny pinching, the companies dishonesty and the lack of desire to fix long standing issues - not faults but poor performing software.
My fingers are crossed that this publicity will give Ford a big boost and in the near future a range of EVs - this news excites me.
It might have external dimensions bigger than a Golf, but it is really tight inside. I've never understood small crossover thingies, unless it is for the slightly raised seat height.The Ford Puma SUV is slightly bigger than the current VW Golf. I’m not sure that really counts as a small car, though my do these days with almost all cars getting bigger. I think when Ford said they were pulling out of small cars they really meant the likes of the Fiesta, where production stops in June.
You're right, they can't even agree on letting e-scooters use the roads legally so God knows how long it'll take to allow any form of fsd!I can't see it happening yet, since the regulations are still not in place yet. They keep saying they are going to allow you to do things like watching something on the cars screen while on the motorway.
