valve Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2020/06/18/ford-mustang-mach-e-offer-hands-free-technology-2021/3209127001/ Apparently very carefully indicating that this is NOT autonomous driving: Quote You can take your hands off the wheel, but you still need to keep your eyes on the road. A driver-facing camera monitors for head gaze and eye movement to ensure that the driver doesn't disengage. This is not, repeat, not an autonomous vehicle. The new tech will be available in late 2021, first on Mach-E and then other vehicles. Edited June 18, 2020 by valve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullynd Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Exciting. Got an email from Ford about completing my Mach-E order, first time I’ve heard from them in months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sullynd Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 According to the order guide the Mach-E ships with the Self Driving “Prep Kit” but it will be a separate upgrade and cost, which won’t be available until third quarter 2021. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it is optional on "Select" and included on the higher trims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Just saw the order guide for the first time - interesting that they don't even have the GT on the order guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
