Ford has announced that it will release its first self-driving car in the UK, the Mustang Mach-E, which will be capable of hands-free driving on British motorways. The vehicle will be equipped with advanced sensors and cameras, and algorithms to drive itself on motorways, with the driver only needing to take control when exiting the motorway or in other specific situations. The announcement comes after the UK government approved the use of autonomous vehicles on motorways earlier this year.
The Mustang Mach-E will be the first autonomous vehicle to be approved for use on British motorways, marking a major milestone for the industry. Ford has been testing self-driving cars on public roads in the UK for several years, and the release of the Mustang Mach-E is a significant step towards the commercialization of autonomous vehicles. Ford plans to launch the vehicle in the UK later this year, with prices starting at around £40,000. As the technology continues to advance, it is expected that more self-driving cars will hit the roads in the coming years, offering a safer and more efficient way to travel.
