Ford’s Mustang Mach-E lets motorists drive hands-free in UK; T&Cs apply: motorways only, don’t look away for too long.

    I’m putting off buying a car for as long as possible. All these smart cars today are going to seem dumb in 5-10 years, in comparison to even standard cars.

    Motorway driving is already boring enough, and now you can take away one of the things that makes it bearable AND you have to pay? No thanks…

      I prefer being a passenger to driving, as I can do something more interesting, like reading a book. But I don’t think hands free driving is the answer, as you still have to be ready to take control. It just makes the driving experience worse, by taking away one of the marginally interesting things you can do to occupy your attention.

    I wonder how this is change the future driving since some countries already banned this technology outright. Maybe back pedal?
